No. 19 Ohio State:

Ohio State made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament last season. With just five players returning from last season, the Buckeyes entered the 2025-26 season unranked but have slowly crept up the rankings since Dec. 23.

The Buckeyes’ star point guard, sophomore Jaloni Cambridge, scored a career-high 41 pts in Wednesday’s game vs. Illinois. Cambridge is averaging 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season. Her older sister, junior Kennedy Cambridge, leads the Big Ten in steals (4.1), second in the nation behind Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo.

A weakness of the Buckeye is their three-point shooting. They are the second-worst team in the Big Ten this season, shooting 28.4% and averaging only 6.7 made field goals per game.

No. 8 Maryland:

Maryland made it to the Sweet 16 in last year’s NCAA Tournament and returned 45% of its scoring this season. The Terps also acquired star transfers senior guard Yarden Garzon (Indiana) and junior guard Oluchi Okananwa (Duke).

Outside of the lone loss to Illinois, Maryland has had a strong season so far. The offense has scored 80+ points in 15 of 17 games and the Terps have four 1,000-point scorers: senior guard Kaylene Smikle (currently out for the season due to a knee injury), senior guard Saylor Poffenbarger, Garzon and Okananwa.

The Terps are ranked second in the Big Ten and fourth in the nation in rebounding margin (+15.5). Garzon is leading the Big Ten and No. 11 in the country in threes made with 48.
