Terps Defensive Effort Puts them in Elite Company

What a game last night. For the first time in over a month, the team we fell in love with in November - January reared it's head and said not so fast to those that were predicting an early demise. I guess the pressure of last year's loss we really getting to the team as I didn't recognize the team on the floor. The ball was fed into the post repeatedly, we weren't settling for jump shots and Marah or Big Strick as the kids call her made a triumph return (she needs another game like last night to completely come off the milk carton). Oh and we showed Vandy we can play a little defense too.

As an FYI, Vandy hadn't given up more than 47 in the tournament, they gave up 44 in the first half last night.

Like Terps25 said, how can you pick only one person for Player of the Game? My vote has to be Marah as we weren't a 4 on 5 team and our five can beat anyone's five.

I am having a really good feeling about Monday night. We still need to bring our A game, but when Kristi is a distributor first and scorer second most teams will have their hands full. I also think Monday will be Harper's breakout game of the tournament.
