Ohio State lost to Maryland in overtime
Ohio State Buckeyes women’s basketball player Cotie McMahon was caught giving two middle fingers to Maryland Terrapins fans on Sunday night.
McMahon was sitting on the bench when she looked directly across the court and flashed the birds. She then turned back toward watching the action on the floor.

It was unclear what prompted the middle fingers. McMahon fouled out late in the game. For the Win noted that Maryland students trolled the forward with a song they sing when a player from the opposing team fouls out.
The Terrapins came away with a hard-fought 93-90 win in overtime.
