There are calibrations, Shyanne Sellers has learned, that come with this new role of hers. Adjustments required when the guard not only has become Maryland’s primary offensive option but also, as Terrapins Coach Brenda Frese bluntly put it after Wednesday’s 78-55 win over James Madison, “one of the best in the country.”
That realization was confirmed again in the second quarter at Xfinity Center while sitting under the basket with blood trickling from a gash under her right eye. The wound opened courtesy of an opponent’s elbow and is indicative of the physicality that Sellers is enduring these days.
