Ohio State's Bruce Thornton had a game-high 31 points, but none were more memorable than the banked-in 3 to beat Maryland. Here's how it happened.

Three days after earning the No. 18 spot in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, the Terps wasted a 17-point lead in the first half and watched helplessly as Bruce Thornton and host Ohio State rallied for a 73-70 win Thursday night before an announced 10,155 at Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

The game came down to the final two possessions. With the score tied at 69, Ohio State junior guard Bruce Thornton answered the call. One-on-one with sophomore guard Rodney Rice, Thornton banked in a contested 3-pointer for the Buckeyes, who then held off the Terps on the other end of the floor.
