Maryland guard Anthony Cowan Jr. arrived at Xfinity Center early before Saturday’s game against Ohio State, hoisting jumpers alone. Less than 48 hours later, in an 86-77 win over the Buckeyes, Cowan responded to that directive with his most explosive offensive performance of the season. Ohio State was without starting forward JaQuan Lyle and top reserve Keita Bates-Diop, both of whom didn’t make the trip because of family emergencies. he was so far out when he hit it,” Ohio State Coach Thad Matta said later of Huerter, who hit three of Maryland’s 12 three-pointers. After Ohio State pulled within five again on a three-pointer of its own, it was Cowan’s turn to be a baby-faced assassin.
