Terps Vanquish Blue Devils, 94-57

Another laugher on the floor of the Comcast Center. Thank goodness game 1 went into overtime, otherwise most people would have missed the start of the game as the Terps led 23-2 at one point and from there it was all about working on our offensive sets. We led at halftime 51-16, which marked another half of us holding a team under 20 points. Angel even played in the first half.

Now it's on to play Furman, which survived a UMES run to win in overtime, 86-81.

Positives

  • Unlike the previous games, we dominated from the start. CCSU scored a quick basket and then after that didn't score again for a while.
  • Crystal was back to normal. After two subpar shooting games, she made all nine shots, which matches a school record, and looked like the dominant player we all know and love.
  • Free Throw shooting. Drastically improved since the debacle in Fairfax.
  • Pressure defense. Our trap looks better and better each game. Now let's see how it works Jan. 5 in Boston.
  • Help defense. The ladies seem to be really understanding what the coaches are telling them about stepping in and over to prevent drives on picks.

    Negatives
  • Turnovers. We are getting better, but there were a lot of tipped balls which could lead to steals against better teams.
  • The officiating. I realize we were up big, but this one ref kept calling fouls from the other side of the court.

    I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
