I'm hoping Diamond can stay out of foul trouble and Sellers can step up fir us to have a chance. Even though it's a tall order lets go Terps!

I think you meant Angel staying out of foul trouble. Only 7 players. Ouch.
 
The depleted Terps goes down to NC State 78-60. The differences in the game were poor shooting (good defense by NC State?) by Maryland. Also, Maryland got dominated on the boards. 47-34. Congrats to the Wolfpack.

As I noted in the Chat room, strong points for Maryland were Angel Reese (very good game) and Shyanne Sellers continuing to impress. Everyone else who played for the Terrapins had a pretty forgettable game. It would've been tough just with 6 players.

I understand Benzan and Masonius didn't make the trip, but is Miller day to day? Is there a chance she plays vs. Stanford?

Reese looks improved this year, especially against taller opponents. She didn’t have the full year last year to gain that experience. Her problem is staying out of foul trouble so she can stay on the court. Big test on Saturday against Brink and huge test coming up against Boston and Cardoso.
 
The injuries are an excuse to a point but this team has the same defensive issues last year's did. Owosu and Reese just don't lock in.
 
Faith Masonius is back with the team so that is great news. The hope is Katie Benzan will be back before the Miami game on Thursday. Diamond Miller is still day to day.

So it’s been a week, any further update on Diamond? To me, Maryland has done well handling these issues and will be better for it down the line.
It’s also harder on teams when they now have a target on their back. Last year the Terps took many by surprise after all the transfers out but this year with everyone returning plus a healthy Reese and the freshman, the Terps have “bullseye” circled on everyone’s schedule.
 
I think everyone will play against South Carolina. Diamond Miller participated fully in warmups on Sunday but didn't play. The Terps have a game on Wednesday at home against Purdue so we'll see if she'll play in that one.

Hopefully she can loosen up Wednesday with at least a little playing time.

Expect a rabid and packed house Sunday.
 
This game is personal for me since I have more family members that graduated from Maryland than anywhere else.

Miller didn't play against Purdue. Not sure what her status will be for our game Sunday. Gamecock PG Destanni Henderson is still day-to-day and is not expected to play Sunday against Maryland. Amihere is still set to be PG1.....

While not noted as a defensive team, Maryland’s guards may test Amihere more than K-State.

Miller is listed as day to day. What is Henderson injury?
Expand ...
Not much is known. It appears to be thigh/groin injury - not knee. Dawn is quiet and Destanni is labeled “ day-to- day.”

It appears that big Latecia Amihere will start at PG instead of Henderson. Perhaps Henderson will play - but perhaps not. Although that worked against K State, I’m less confident about it working against Maryland’s talented guards.

Yeah, I’m a bit nervous.

Can you defend her with a guard though?

I'm not a huge believer in this experiment, but seems like sticking a guard on her is asking for post ups.

I do worry about the press.

LA can throw over the press and if dribbling is needed, Zia will be out there.

If Miller is able to play, the Terps will try to press. Also, Maryland have tall guards. Miller is 6'3" and Sellers is 6'2". How are the freshmen doing for South Carolina?
 
Interesting stats for the Terps.

#1 in the country in made FTs.
#5 in the country in fewest turnovers.

Getting more minutes and looking more comfortable, but not asked to do a whole lot.

I would have thought Dawn would have Zia run the point, or one of the other guards like Littleton. Is Amihere a serviceable ball handler?

Raven Johnson would’ve have definitely been starting at PG I’m sure had she not gotten injured.

I think SC wins in a defensive slugfest, 62-52.
 
I'm predicting the Terps 78-75.

Benzan, Bibby and Collins will hit their three pointers and spread South Carolina out. Especially Boston.

Owusu will play like an All American. She may be the best 1-on -1 player in college basketball.

Angel Reese will play as well as she did against Cunane and NC State.

And finally, Miller will play and make a difference.
