Maryland women’s basketball has waited all year for its superstar backcourt pairing to erupt en route to a season-defining win.
Whether it was injuries or inconsistency, the vintage performances from junior guards Diamond Miller and Ashley Owusu just were not seen frequently this year. Frustration mounted at times this season when both were not 100%. After an 86-68 loss to Stanford on Nov. 27, a game that Miller missed with a knee injury, head coach Brenda Frese said that Owusu was “Batman without Robin.”
On Sunday against No. 12-seed Florida Gulf Coast, the pair performed like superheroes.
