It’s been a long layoff for Maryland women’s basketball. The Terrapins haven’t seen game action since all the way back on Dec. 10, which was Field Trip Day, when the Terps rolled past Loyola (Md.) to an easy 83-48 victory.
But that was over a week ago, as the student-athletes were wrapping up their semesters with Finals Week. A lot has changed since that game. For starters, Maryland is no longer considered the seventh-best team in the country. The Associated Press now ranks the Terrapins at No. 5, a position the team hasn’t been in since the 2016-17 season.
