Maryland women’s basketball advanced to the Sweet 16 with a 77-64 win over Arizona on Sunday.
Maryland’s prerogative this season has been to have quick starts and punch first. Make that right hook, jab, uppercut, whatever they want to call it, stick. Its goal has been to make its opponents feel it and get them flustered early.
Early turnovers and lead trims
Neither team kept control of the ball particularly well in the first quarter, as a combined 13 turnovers were committed. While Maryland got some good looks and knocked down shots toward the beginning of the quarter, it got a tad sloppy after that.
