Prior to the season, this game wouldn't have even been a question in my mind. Over the course of 9 games, Maryland has really allowed doubt to creep in. Ohio State COULD win this game. Will they? Time will tell. Maryland, despite no crazy offensive superstar, has a good, efficient unit this year. The Terps are scoring on nearly 31% of their shots, get 62% of their shots on goal, and nearly average 12 goals per game. These are all good numbers.

They're likely an Elite Eight team, but probably not Final Four caliber.

With the Buckeye season preview already posted, now we're going to take a peek at what the Big Ten will look like this year. Here's a hint: way freaking different. Absolutely tons of personnel turnover, coaching changes, etc. will remake the landscape of the conference. And it's going to give Ohio State a big opportunity. Preview is going to be in predicted order of finish after the postseason tournament. Let's go. Maryland (4-1, 2-0)
