Maryland women’s basketball jumped to No. 9 in this week’s AP poll, up four spots from its previous position at No. 13.
It’s been an up and down year for the Terps, who began the season at No. 17. They’ve suffered upset losses to Nebraska and DePaul, but have taken down two of the best teams in the nation in No. 7 Notre Dame and No. 4 UConn.
Through 16 games, the Terps (13-3, 4-1) sit tied with No. 6 Indiana and No. 12 Iowa for second in the Big Ten behind only No. 3 Ohio State.
