Normally, when a team is up by more than 40 points in the third quarter, there isn’t much to watch.
But for Maryland women’s basketball Wednesday night, Brinae Alexander was making history, and putting on a show while doing so. That was epitomized when Bri McDaniel dished a between-the-legs pass to Alexander, who then knocked down for her ninth basket of the game.
She ended up with a career-high seven 3-pointers in a 29-point performance, and added seven boards and five steals as the Terps dusted Niagara, 114-44, for their third straight win.
Alexander said she wasn’t aware of the significance of her performance, which included a program record of 11 straight made shots to begin a game: “I didn’t realize I was perfect from the floor until halftime, so I was like, oh yeah, I haven’t missed a shot yet.
