There is no denying the rollercoaster ride this season has been for No. 17 Maryland women’s basketball.
The Terps sit at 15-6 through 21 games, which is an unfamiliar place for them under head coach Brenda Frese. Maryland has not lost six games in a season since its 2017-18 campaign. This year, it lost its sixth game in its 18th game of the season, the earliest it has lost this many contests since the 2003-04 season when it fell at No. 1 Duke in its 18th game.
It would be naive to ignore the ups and downs.
