Terps Out Pace Eagles in ACC Quarterfinals

For the fifth straight year, Maryland advanced to the ACC Semifinals after today's win over Boston College. Unfortunately, it seemed like we left our defense in College Park as BC essentially had it's way on offense. The only problem was that we have more offense than they do. There are two ways to look at it: 1. We rested the starters midway through the second half and BC took advantage or 2: Picco just happened to be hotter than the sun and nothing we could do to stop her.

Overall, I really liked our offensive game today and thought we did a great job of working the ball around and finding the open person. In the post, Crystal and Laura were not going to be denied as they combined for 19 of 21 from the floor. Defensively, I think we overrated and left their shooters open for three.

We took decent care of the ball but did try to force a few things which allowed BC to get back in the game.

The huge lead allowed us to rest some of the starters although I would have liked to see Kristi play less than 30 minutes.

We seemed to struggle holding onto the ball, which hopefully changes for tomorrow.

The win gives us 30 and marks our best start after 32 games in school history.

Tomorrow its our third go-round with Ekud, preview should be up by the time everyone wakes up.
