Randy’s Free Pick
The Ohio State Buckeyes aren’t winning, aren’t covering numbers, and they’re losing their last 5 games by an average of 11.4 points. Home court can be key this time of year, but OSU looks more and more like a team ready for the season to end. The Maryland Terrapins need to take advantage of this game. I’ll lay the bucket.
