i am sure there are lots of analytical X and O things to talk about in the coverage of OSU vs Maryland.
Who was hot. Who wasn't. What the rotation was. How the matchups played out.
But in the end, there is really only one stat that matters in today's 5 pt loss.
Maryland 20-23 from the line.
OSU 14-24. Ballgame. And how many of those misses were the front end of a 1 & 1? So we gave away even more potential points than the stat shows.
For all the intrigue of this season with a young team, this single stat covers the spread in almost all of the losses.
Gotta learn to hit free throws.
