Ohio State Basketball: Buckeyes must improve defense against Maryland

On Thursday, the Ohio State basketball team lost its eighth Big Ten game of the season and suffered its ninth loss overall as the Buckeyes fell to the 20th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes 85-76. Now, they must try to bounce back but it will be against one of the top teams not only in the Big Ten, but in the country as they face No. 7 Maryland on Sunday.

If the Buckeyes want to get not only a bounce-back win, but a statement win, then they need to play much better defense on Sunday than they did on Thursday.
