Ohio State Star Cotie McMahon Flashes Double Middle Fingers to Fans During Intense Game

Ohio State Buckeyes women’s basketball player Cotie McMahon made waves Sunday night, but not for her game stats. The star forward was caught on camera flashing double middle fingers to Maryland Terrapins fans during an intense game.

McMahon, seated on the bench at the time, turned toward the crowd across the court and made the NSFW gesture before refocusing on the game. What caused the moment of defiance? That remains unclear. However, McMahon had fouled out late in the game, and reports suggest Maryland students may have taunted her with their infamous "foul-out" chant. Let’s just say, she didn’t take it lying down.

The night ended in heartbreak for Ohio State as Maryland clinched a dramatic 93-90 overtime victory. But McMahon’s performance on the court was nothing short of stellar before her early exit—she racked up 18 points and five rebounds in 30 minutes. The Ohio native has been one of the Buckeyes' top players since joining the program, earning accolades like the 2023 Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Year and a spot on the All-Big Ten First Team in 2024.

So far this season, McMahon is averaging 16.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, proving her value as a powerhouse on the court. Ohio State currently holds a 24-5 overall record and remains undefeated at home with a pristine 15-0 streak. The Buckeyes are gearing up for the Big Ten Conference tournament starting Friday, where they’ll begin their NCAA Tournament quest.

While the fiery gesture may have stolen some headlines, McMahon’s contributions to her team—and the sport—are undeniable. But maybe next time, she’ll let her game do the talking.
