Maryland women’s basketball released its nonconference schedule Monday, and it features some tough competition.
Five of the Terps’ 11 slated opponents made the NCAA Tournament last season, though none made it past the Sweet Sixteen. Those teams include South Carolina, Qunnipac, NC State, Clemson and Belmont.
The best games on the schedule look to be South Carolina on Nov. 10 and NC State in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge on Dec. 5.
The Gamecocks are ranked No. 9 in ESPN’s preseason top 25 and the games between them and the Terps have been very competitive over the past two seasons.
