Maryland Visits Ohio State in Top-15 Big Ten Showdown COLUMBUS, Ohio (Interstat) — A high-stakes rematch awaits Sunday when the Maryland Terrapins visit the fifth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in a pivotal Big Ten women’s basketball clash at Value City Arena. The Buckeyes (21-3, 11-2 Big Ten), riding a five-game winning streak, will look to complete a regular-season sweep after defeating the Terrapins 89-76 in College Park on Jan. 11. Ohio State has been dominant at home, boasting a 12-1 record in Columbus this season. Maryland (20-6, 9-4), winners of three straight, seeks to avenge that loss and close the gap in the conference standings. The Terrapins’ recent surge follows a challenging 1-5 stretch in late January, which included the loss to Ohio State and three overtime defeats. A key matchup will feature Maryland’s Yarden Garzon against Ohio State’s Kennedy Cambridge. Garzon, a guard, is coming off a 19-point performance in a win over Penn State and has averaged 15.1 points over her last seven games. Cambridge, also a guard, scored a season-high 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds in Ohio State’s recent victory at Oregon, highlighting her two-way impact. The Buckeyes’ offense, averaging 80.2 points per game, will test a Maryland defense that has tightened during its winning streak, holding opponents to 64 points per game. Ohio State’s backcourt, featuring Cambridge and Jaloni Cambridge, who had 19 points and eight assists in the first meeting, poses a significant challenge. Conversely, Maryland’s balanced attack, which saw Oluchi Okananwa (15 points, six assists) and Saylor Poffenbarger (10 points, five assists) contribute significantly alongside Garzon last game, will need a collective effort to penetrate Ohio State’s pressure defense. With both teams jockeying for postseason positioning, Sunday’s contest offers a critical opportunity for Maryland to secure a signature road win and for Ohio State to solidify its hold atop the conference. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. EST.
