Message: [QUOTE="Sched234, post: 3899496, member: 9614"] I am a big fan of both SC and Maryland’s teams and so their bracket pairing is both a dream and a nightmare for me. I have little stake in the game but think everyone would do well to remember that Boston pounded Maryland as a freshman when the Terps had a 6’5” player to match up with her. I expect Maryland’s defensive plan would completely revolve around her a la Alabama’s this year and thus far the Gamecocks have been able to figure it out (although MD is far better than Alabama and most teams SC has dealt with). The only sure thing about this matchup is that South Carolina cannot match Maryland bucket-for-bucket and Maryland probably cannot defense SC well, either. It should be a toss-up in my opinion. I understand why many are picking Maryland but find it puzzling that it’s treated as a foregone conclusion. [/QUOTE]
