Due to finals and the holidays, Maryland women’s basketball has played just one game in the past 16 days. That game ended with the Terrapins ahead by 24 points over Delaware, but it was far from a typical performance for the now-No. 4 team in the nation.
As a team, the Terps shot just 36.8 percent from the floor and 28.6 percent from long range. Combined with 18 turnovers and a failure to out-hustle the feisty Blue Hens, and the team with an 11-0 record looked far from perfect. Maryland had a 10-day layoff since its last game, so a certain amount of rust was bound to be present.
