MINNEAPOLIS — There weren’t a lot of smiles in Maryland women’s baketball’s first game of the 2022 Big Ten Tournament. It was left searching for answers, as it failed to reach the championship game — let alone the semifinals — for the first time in its time in the conference. The Terps were sent home packing in their first game of the bracket, falling to Indiana in a lackluster performance.
Friday night, thought, there were smiles. Head coach Brenda Frese let forth an ear-to-ear grin as Maryland women’s basketball extended a run to 20-4 late in the second quarter, bringing its lead to 12.
