Langhorne's Career-high propel Terps past Wake, 79-70, in OT

Another road game, another nail biter, another overtime session. 4 ACC games on the road this year and 3 of them have gone to OT each time the Terps have come away with the win. The only problem is that from here on out, the road games don't get any easier: 2/9 @ North Carolina, 2/13 @ Duke, 2/19 @ NC State. We have a clinched a winning record on the road in the ACC for the first time in forever so that's a good sign, but the bad part is we show no intensity until we realize we may lose. Two big games await us this week with Miami on Wednesday more than likely will lock up the first round playoff bye with a win and the rematch with Virginia on Sunday.

Game Story | Box Score

Positives

Langhorne. What can you say about her? Game's on the line and she takes the ball to hole with authority and then makes her free throws. 34 points and 14 rebounds is an impressive day for anyone. If only she can do this in the first half.

Harper. We needed another low post presence yesterday and Harper gave it to us with 13 points and 6 rebounds. I wish we would get her even more involved in the offense.

Turnovers. We had 5 in the first 5 minutes and then only 9 the rest of the way. Maybe this will be the start of something new.

Rebounding. This was a game we should have dominated on the glass and we did outrebounding Wake by 18.

Negatives

Defending the 3. It's quite obvious from looking at the stats that Wake shoots a lot of threes. My question is why did we never guard the person shooting the 3? Bond-Young made 6 threes three days after Nnamake had a field day behind the arc. It's time to get a hand in their faces ladies.

3-point shooting. What has happened to it the last few games? 4 in two games after the way we started the year? This is not a good time for the whole team to start slumping.

Shay. I am hoping the GT game wasn't a mirage, but she had another poor shooting effort. I like that she attacked the glass and collected 9 rebounds, but we need her to be more consistent with her shot.

Free Throw shooting down the stretch. We had several key misses at the end of the game and OT. Luckily they didn't hurt us.
