#7 Alabama vs #2 Maryland - 3/24/21

[Sched234]

Yikes! Had no idea that Maryland was this good. Owusu has a different body type for her excellent skill set.

South Carolina does not have enough offense to stay with Md in a final 8 game. Get real physical and slow them down...maybe a close one, Stanford/MD semis would be outstanding.

I agree. South Carolina can’t score with Maryland

Not really surprised. Alabama didn't look good against an uninspired North Carolina team in the first round.

I don't think South Carolina will be able to handle Maryland.

What is Diamond Miller's average for walks per game?

It’s gonna be a problem should SC advance to meet the Terps.

People have slept on Maryland all year, but this team is a legitimate title threat. People talk about how they don’t play defense—okay, but can you defend them? ND got one title and was a free throw away from a second without a ton of defense.

If SC advances to play MD it'll be interesting to see how many fouls calls go in favor of Boston.

Maryland hits 100... again.

Worth noting, Maryland's defense has improved a lot throughout the season too. Since their Ohio State loss they've held opponents to just 62.4 ppg and if you take out the Iowa track meets, it's 58.4 ppg.

Big 10 is 3-0 against the SEC. The SEC was favored in 2 of those games.

If Maryland plays S. Carolina, it could be 4-0.

They're playing better than anyone in the country right now. Their defensive intensity is very good and they have great offensive threats at all 5 spots, plus Masonius/Reese are fantastic off the bench.

Side note--Brenda should teach Reese to stop shooting layups from her shoulder level. For a player with her size and length she should be releasing the ball from a much higher point.

I agree with you totally. Reese seems to get a lot of her shots blocked by shorter opponents too often. She also needs to pump fake to get a clearer shot at the basket. She rarely pump fakes. I’m sure she will work on this, she seems to be very easy going to take criticism.
