No. 10 Maryland picked up its fourth loss of the season Sunday against then-No. 8 Indiana, a program that has since been upgraded to the No. 6 team in the country. The AP selection committee deemed that four losses were enough to bump the Terps four places in the top-25 ranking, but each one of those defeats came against a top-10 team.
Blowout losses suffered against NC State and Stanford in the Bahamas came when Maryland lacked several key players. Both graduate guard Katie Benzan and junior forward Faith Masonius didn’t travel with the team due to illness, and junior standout Diamond Miller was on the bench in athletic wear.
