Getting the feeling that BIG10 conference play is going to be hella interesting this year. Gonna be fun to sit back and watch what happens this season.
Yes indeed!!

FYI regarding Wright and her injury status. Ugh, feel for her as moving around with a sore neck is bad enough.

Terps finally playing a top 20 team in Kentucky. It will be a battle of the Terps guards vs. 6'4 and 6'5 bigs.

Very impressive win by the Terps! I wasn’t sure what to think of this game but Brenda did a nice job basically playing a small lineup, heck Mir played 25 min!
I still think they are 3rd in the Big 10 behind UCLA and Michigan with my hope Michigan beating UCLA and making our win all the more valuable. 😎

Nice game by Maryland. For me, it is always tough reading too much into these types of games unless Kentucky, depending on the ranking system you follow, ranked 16th beats Maryland (7th). I think Maryland a `10-12 to nothing run on Kentucky and clearly Maryland looked like a top ten team out there. But this was a nice game and challenge for both teams. A good measure for both teams. The Big Ten is always fun to watch and UCLA, if they aren't on their A game, will have some serious competition this season.

Garzon was 8-13 from three in Puerto Rico. The Terps probably need to bring that court back with them.
Happy for her. I mentioned her being a bit disappointing to start the season. She's really one of my favorite players I just had super high expectations.

At least they wouldn't have any challenges with customs if they did, since they played in Puerto Rico. 😉
How good is Michigan State? Anyone been watching their games? Their schedule so far has been ridiculously weak. But their stats through 8 games are out of this world. If the season ended today, Sparty would be both the best offensive BIG team and the best defensive BIG team in the advanced stats era (since 2009-10).
MSU’s current (12/2) 1.11 offensive points per play and .60 defensive points per play are both BIG bests since 2009-10.

The only team they've played with a pulse is Clemson at 5-3, and they beat them by 8 points. Preseason pundits have put Sparty in the top 20 but this schedule isn't going to prepare them for the BiG or the tournament. We'll see.
I believe they started last season atop the advanced stats nationally too. MSU’s been very good since Fralick got there, but I think they’re still a floor-8 seed, ceiling 5-seed type team.

Their next potential test will be later this month as they could face Ole Miss before the holidays. As you noted, no one will really know until they get into BIG10 conference play.
