If there was any game for No. 20 Maryland women’s basketball to show glimpses of complete chemistry, it was against No. 6 UConn at the XFINITY Center in front of 12,566 fans that created an NCAA Tournament-like atmosphere in search of the Terps’ first win in program history over the Huskies.
They did just that Sunday afternoon, defeating UConn, 85-78.
Here are a few takeaways from the game.
Maryland showed it’s about how you finish.
Maryland’s last few games have not been showing the fast-paced scoring offense that head coach Brenda Frese usually runs. The Terps struggled to defend UConn’s remaining healthy starters such as Aaliyah Edwards, who had 10 of UConn’s 19 points through 10 minutes of action on 6-of-7 shooting.
