Terps Squash Frogs, 82-64

The score was no indication of how lopsided this game was. The Terps came out on fire to start the game and led by as many as 40 before getting sloppy and going on cruise control. Career-high for Harper with 27 points. Only scare during the game was Coleman's hard fall about 10 minutes in. She walked off the court, but was wearing an ice pack the entire second half. Probably won't see her unless we need her tomorrow. Disappointed in the crowd, but the men were getting ready to tip off so I figured that's where most of them were.

Positives

  • Start of the game intensity - for the third straight game we went right at a team and built a huge lead. For the second straight game, we didn't let up until the other team had no chance.
  • Harper - she played like a beast tonight, hitting jumpers, blocking shots and playing defense.
  • Toliver - her passing was so smooth tonight it was fun to watch. That block she had was even better.
  • Defense - I think we played great defense for 30 minutes. We stepped out on screens, defended entry passes, etc. It was fun to watch.
  • Team ball - 27 assists on 31 baskets.

    Negatives
  • Turnovers and FT shooting - seems to be a recurring theme.
  • Letting up. I realize we have more games to play this weekend, but I didn't like how we relaxed and didn't show any pride when TCU kept chipping away. Voters won't realize it was a blowout.


    Next Up
    Arizona - lost to GW today after having a lead with 4 minutes to go. Will preview them tomorrow morning.
