Maryland women’s basketball head coach Brenda Frese said this year’s Big Ten slate was “the most competitive I’ve seen since coming in.” That’s a ringing endorsement of the conference from the 21-year coaching veteran.
The first game of conference play featured a Nebraska team who was coming off a 31-point loss to Virginia Tech and a Maryland women’s basketball program that came off a buzzer-beating win over Notre Dame last week.
Sophomore guard Shyanne Sellers and senior guard Brinae Alexander’s performances were overshadowed by a 90-67 at the XFINITY center as Nebraska dealt a punch on the chin to Maryland.
