Maryland much like on the road at Michigan State started out hot and raced to an early lead, but in the end, the Buckeyes remained unbeaten in Big Ten Play at 5-0.
The Terps fed Cekovsky their first two offensive trips down the court and were rewarded with two buckets.
Kevin Huerter made his first two three-point attempts and the Terps led 10-7 early.
After two more Cekovsky dunks, the Terps pushed their lead to the largest of the night at seven points.
Unfortunately, everything went downhill pretty quickly. Maryland led 22-15 before an onslaught ensued.
