Vic is dangerous coaching in these types of games but I think Maryland runs away with it. I was 0-4 in my picks today though so who knows how it goes ?‍♂️

I'm just gonna chose the under dogs. If Vic can keep them from scoring 80-90 and keep them in that 60s range. Texas has a chance. But that's a huge reach

Keep them in the 60’s?!

Their lowest output of the season was 62 pts in a win against Northwestern.

Second lowest output was 72 pts in a loss against Missouri St in the second game of the season.

Bibby had an off day in both of those contests.?

Over their last three games, Maryland is averaging 101 ppg.

 

[DefenseBB]

I am looking forward to Illusionist Charlie Collier and her now famous disappearing act when playing good teams. While Texas was awesome on the offense last year, that was a HUGE outlier of their play all season so it will be curious how
They look against the Terps.

My last sentence said. It's a huge reach lol. Possibly not gonna happen

 

[sweetspot]

Texas has a chance if they can force turnovers (against a good ball control team), shoot 3’s well (despite not being a great shooting team), and keep Collier out of foul trouble. If Ebo has to play big minutes, that’s trouble.

The chess match with Collier is interesting. Frese likes to switch on ball screens so you sometimes end up with Benzan on huge posts. But IDK if Texas has the shooters or the passers to stretch the defense if it collapses down low.

I think Texas will lose by at least 25 points.

Collier should dominate the game individually at her size. But she went for 5 and 5 against UCLA, a team without a starter over 6’1”.

Please basketball gods, just let Texas and Vic give them their best game to date and make it really hard for them. Thank you.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

I'm interested to see how well Vic can defend Maryland today.

Would be a good read.

 

[shiverz45]

I would not count a coach out that has taken his teams to back to back championship game.

Me either.

 

[DefenseBB]

Shocked I am that 2 SEC fans want Vic to give Maryland a good game as Maryland looks infinitely better in this Tournament than SC.

 

[sweetspot]

SC looked really good against OSU and pretty good today. Maryland got Alabama on short rest.

Today's a good litmus test. Texas and Ga Tech are on pretty equal footing as opponents.

 

[southie]

It's an interesting matchup. Unlike Alabama, Texas won't play zone defense against Maryland; it's man-to-man defense only.

Texas did a very good job holding Baylor way below its scoring average this season. Texas needs to dictate the pace of the game and not get into a track meet with Maryland.

 

[MSUFan2003]

Vic will pull out a matchup zone from time to time. He's often good for an upset, but I don't think he can pull this off today. Give him a few more years though. But I would never count Vic completely out.

 

[Mulder]

Which Charli Collier will show up tonight?
We shall see.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

I'm just glad South Carolina was able to upset Oregon State in round 2 and then keep the miracle run going today.

Pretty much playing with house money now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I have a feeling Texas' gaudy 17.4% FG defense in the Tourney is going to not be as good by the end of this game...

 

[hoopsfan22]

Wow Maryland is like a piranha on a roast!

 

[bluedevil]

If I was in a bar fight I would want Owusau on my side.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

9-0 and a timeout. Maryland's on a mission once again. There goes Texas defense. Still early though.

 

[Shades]

Texas defense looks pretty confused.

 

[Rb335]

Owusu is a player who looks WNBA ready right now. Her frame and athleticism is probably going to translate well at the next level.
