Turnovers littered Maryland’s 73-68 victory against No. 17 Baylor on Sunday. The Terps’ first win over a ranked opponent was a dirty one, as Baylor took advantage of Maryland’s turnovers. Nineteen giveaways came on the backdrop of a 32-point game from senior guard Diamond Miller.
Some turnovers were a result of poor passes and others were committed after Baylor’s dogged defenders swiped the ball away from Maryland’s players. Four of the eight players to take the floor for Maryland had at least one turnover.
Maryland opened the game with three turnovers on its first three possessions — two of which were by Miller, which led to head coach Brenda Frese removing her senior star from the game.
