Maryland women's basketball shows grit in 83-73 loss to No. 1 UConn

If you didn't read Thomas Kendziora's preview column or you have been living under a rock for the past 20 years, UConn women's basketball has dominated the sport in an almost unthinkable manner. The Huskies have won five of the last seven national championships, including the last three in a row. Maryland has not fared well against UConn or the Huskies' closest competitor, Notre Dame, in recent years.
