When the Terps and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish met on Dec. 1, Maryland women’s basketball senior guard Diamond Miller put on a heroic 31-point performance that included a game-winning, step-back buzzer-beater as the Terps snuck out of South Bend, Indiana, with a 74-72 win.
Miller didn’t score 31 Saturday, but she found her game in the second half, and second-seeded Maryland found a way to blow past third-seeded Notre Dame, 76-59, to advance to its first Elite Eight since 2015.
“It’s just exciting. I mean, obviously it’s fun to be a part of, but just doing it with a great coaching staff and great teammates is always the best part.
