Maryland women’s basketball’s season has been a confusing one, to say the least. Marquee wins against top-20 opponents in Baylor and Notre Dame have made the Terps look like the contenders that fans are accustomed to seeing throughout head coach Brenda Frese’s tenure, but they also have two losses to unranked teams in DePaul and Nebraska.
Sunday’s defeat against Nebraska was a shockingly disappointing one, with the Cornhuskers outscoring the Terps 59-31 in the second half en route to a 90-67 victory.
Maryland came into the contest 15-0 all time against Nebraska and undefeated in conference-opening tilts since joining the Big Ten in the 2014-15 season.
