#6 Texas vs #2 Maryland - 3/28/21

[Vowelguy]

Impressive to hold MD to 32 but don’t think UT has enough to outscore then.

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...

How is it at half time?

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Only way for TX to compete - they can't win in a free flowing game.
MD ain't getting to 100 tonight.

They may be lucky to hit 70.

Collier vs Ono. I will take Liv all day long. I really wonder if Collier would have developed differently at Storrs? She is supposed to be the #1 pick in the draft. Interesting.

I really don't understand all of the media hype. She has a pro frame, and that's about it. My gut at this point thinks she will be very ineffective in the W.

I wonder why Schaefer benched Collier. It’s not like she was the problem.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

I'm not quite sure how to play the irony here, so I'll just let it go.

Credit Texas for hanging tough, but they've turned this into an ugly scrum. Game started out w/ Maryland playing beautiful basketball.

One of Vic's classic lines is, "it can't be pretty ball."

If we didn't leave Benzan wide open, she doesn't get those two 3-pointers. Seems like Texas started to face guard her more after that.

Texas has to make those bunnies.

How is it at half time?

Well Maryland is shooting 40%, that's quite a bit better than previous opponents. They've taken 10, probably won't be enough attempts to make a huge impact on their overall % for the Tourney.

This game is giving me Baylor/Michigan vibes

Texas is doing enough to stay around

You lost me. Were you talking 3-point FG defense? I missed that.

I'm fine with Maryland only making 4 FG's from beyond the arc. Texas has three themselves, I believe.

MD halftime lows
30 vs Northwestern
32 tonight
38 vs Nebraska

Collier will be the 2nd post player off the bench.

Yes. I said defense in my original post.

edit--Texas is 4-9, so it's a wash

I always feel bad for Warren when I see her play...seems like she either gets tough calls against her or gets physically beat up from taking charges/setting picks/etc.

 

[TC22]

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.

SC is also familiar with how Vic runs things. Holding them to 35 at the half is a score SC could handle. If they scored 90 we don’t have a chance.

Vic does a better job than any coach of instilling confidence and toughness in his kids. They don't look the least bit intimidated.

Warren, as much as she goes to the floor, need to wear a helmet.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Officiating is interesting in this one. As always.

 

[Pastahusky98]

I wonder if the "experts" will quit wetting themselves about Maryland now.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Vic is outcoaching Brenda

 

[PoppaBear]

Owusu looking like a linebacker out there. But unbelievable quick for her size

 

[bballnut90]

Vic always seems to win games like this.

Show you what a little defense does to a team that wants to run up and down the court. Looks like we UConn fans can cancel our Depends order thinking about Maryland. Looking now at all of these teams I ain't afraid of a single one.
