Well it looks like the Terps have found their stroke from behind the arc. For the second straight game, they have made at least nine 3-pointers.(This coming after making only 1 against Temple) Yesterday, they made 12 to set the school record (two weeks after the men). Other than that, the game was a bore and the ladies looked bored as well at certain times. The addition of Sa'de now allows Brenda to sub out a whole team as she did yesterday. Everyone scored and there were 6 players in double figures. The win streak is up to 20 (one off the school record) and the 14-0 mark is two off the school's best start.

Positives
Sa'de - Two games into her Maryland career and already a career-high in points. She looks smooth out there and really pushes the tempo. The team is still adjusting to her as several times she passed her teammates the ball and they weren't ready. Plus, the team is averaging 101 points with her thus far.
Toliver - The addition of Sa'de has made her more lethal from behind the arc and she is still distributing the ball evenly.
Free Throw Shooting - We missed one out of 25 attempts. Not really much to complain about there.
Coleman - Another high shooting percentage game and almost a double-double. She looks like she is picking her spots on when to take over games.
Jade - Her jumpshot looks great and she looks confident shooting it.
Newman - The slump looks to be nearly over.
Negatives
Defense - The zone looked awful as no one knew where they needed to be and the man-to-man was suspect as we still get beat off the dribble with ease. The Offense hides a lot of mistakes, but we should be playing better defense.
Turnovers - Way too many and many of them were forced turnovers.
Langhorne and Harper - No excuse for shooting a combined 4-11 from the field and grabbing only 9 rebounds. Shay and Coleman outrebounded both of them.
Attitude - We looked to sleepwalk through the beginning of both halves, just like last year.
