Boosted by an offensive explosion, No. 4-seed Maryland women’s basketball hurt No. 13-seed Delaware in plenty of different ways Friday evening.
With about four minutes to play in the third quarter, sophomore forward/guard Angel Reese had possession at the top of the key. Reese — who only made one three on the season and missed one earlier attempt on the day — held the ball as the coaching staff urged her not to shoot. She was phenomenal on the interior, as the rest of her team was, and decided to give the ball up.
The Maryland bench broke into laughter after the pause, and the play ended with a layup by graduate student forward/guard Chloe Bibby that gave Maryland a 67-46 lead.
