No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball played its first game in 10 days Sunday afternoon, as it welcomed No. 19 Michigan State to Xfinity Center. In a back-and-forth affair, Maryland prevailed, winning 72-66 to improve to 12-0.
Here are three takeaways from the game.
A statement victory
Early in its season, Maryland won a measuring stick game against former conference rival No. 14 Duke. Since then, Maryland has rolled through its schedule en route to an 11-0 record entering Sunday’s game, but without another test against a ranked opponent.
Even then, the Terps got into dog fights with lower-level opponents like Purdue.
