Maryland women’s basketball’s four-game win streak came to an end Sunday, as its second-half comeback attempt against No. 2 Ohio State fell short. The Terps lost, 79-66.
Here are three takeaways from the contest.
The Buckeyes started fast
Primarily, Ohio State’s ability to establish an early lead, which Maryland struggled to overcome, determined the outcome of the contest.
But how did the Buckeyes achieve this?
Initially, both teams implemented full-court presses, albeit with differing degrees of effectiveness. Despite Maryland’s efforts, it couldn’t effectively trap Ohio State in either the full- or half-court due to the Buckeyes’ excellent floor spacing.
