I am picking the Spartans. Should be a nice matchup.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Maryland will have an addition to their roster tonight. 6'3" Alaysia Styles from Cal will suit up for the Terps tonight.

“We have known ‘Bird’ since we recruited her back in high school," Maryland coach Brenda Frese said in a release. “At 6′3” and as a grad transfer she will bring immediate size, depth and maturity into our program right away. She is a versatile player that runs the floor hard and can rebound and score from so many areas. On top of that, she comes from a conference where she has gained a tremendous amount of experience in Pac-12 play. It has been a long awaited time and we can’t wait for her to get here.”
Styles will finish the fall semester at Cal, then will come to College Park for the spring 2021 semester. She helped the Golden Bears to back-to-back 20-win seasons in 2018 and 2019, as Cal made two NCAA tournament appearances and reached the second round in 2019.
“I am forever in debt to Coach Frese in her everlasting support of me as a player and human being. The decision to finish my collegiate career in College Park is like nothing I’d ever imagined,” Styles said. “COVID made the process a bit more interesting, however all it took was one Zoom call to know where I wanted to call my next home. I am thrilled and sincerely grateful for this unreal opportunity and this step into an incredible journey with incredible people. Dreams do come true, and I am entirely honored to share mine with my teammates, coaches, and the City of College Park.”

She had a pretty good game against UConn last season. 13 points and 9 rebounds on 6-12 shooting.

 

[Shades]

7-7 a few minutes in.

 

[Shades]

Interesting to hear Clouden is from Maryland but never received an offer from them. A little extra incentive to beat them up.

 

[Shades]

22-19 MD end of first

Collins 9 pts, 3 reb, 1 ast

 

[TerpWomenFan]

ESPN gamecast appears to be broken.

It's 22-19 Maryland after the first quarter.

[TerpWomenFan]

Maryland with a 48-33 lead at the half. One of the better performances by the Terps this season so far.

 

[eebmg]

When Mimi Collins hits a 3, you know you are done. Love Benzan. Little firecracker. On a positive note for MSU, Clouden at 998 career pts.(scored 12 in first half)

 

[Alydar]

Maryland dominated Indiana and now Mich St., neither of whom looks like a ranked team should.

Maryland dominated Indiana and now Mich St., neither of whom looks like a ranked team should.

Indiana fought back and it was close at the end. MSU except for Clouden does not seem to have any real threats.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

You need to hit the three point shot to beat Maryland. MSU do not shoot the three point shot very well.

Brenda gets criticize for lack of coaching sometimes. Going to the zone in this game was a brilliant move by her.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

I guess MSU can hit the three point shot. Three of them. They have cut the lead to 9.

 

[Shades]

83-77 MD with 3:29 left

 

[Alydar]

Maybe fatigue due to MD's short bench was a factor in IU's comeback because it's looking like the same thing in this game.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Maryland win 93-87.

 

[turtlespeed]

I agree they have been looking tired at games end. I think Lewis going out injured had something to do with that. But, Masonius can play any position and only played for 15 minutes. Benzan and Owusu played 39 minutes, Bibby and Miller played 38 and 36 respectively. MD has to finish better.

 

[Bigboote]

Both teams played really well in stretches. For some of the first half and half of the third quarter, I thought Michigan State was overmatched, but they really showed some guts the last part of the game. I found it a very enjoyable game.

 

[cancontent]

The second quarter sticks out. Michigan State struggled big time. They won the third and fourth quarters. Couldn't make up the gap being down 15 at half.

Nice win for Maryland.

Nice win for Maryland.

I just got that. Well done @Shades!

 

[eebmg]

Oh man. Just saw the score. Gave up on MSU in second half.

Big 10 looks pretty deep.
