Maryland women’s basketball’s run in the Big Ten Tournament came to a close Saturday, as it fell to No. 5-seed Nebraska in the semifinals, 78-68.
Here are some takeaways from the game.
Nebraska dominated the perimeter
Heading into Saturday’s contest, Maryland surely had its eyes on center Alexis Markowski, who scored 20 points in the teams’ last meeting and 22 points in Nebraska’s quarterfinal win against Michigan State.
And while the Terps’ paint defense operated well against her, it also opened up ample opportunities on the perimeter. The Cornhuskers did not hesitate to cash in.
