Maryland women’s basketball pulled off its biggest win of the season Friday, beating top-seeded Ohio State in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament, 82-61.
Here are some takeaways from the game.

On Thursday, in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, Maryland shied away from its usual zone defense and decided to go in a different direction. The team shined against Illinois by switching on screens.
Head coach Brenda Frese decided to do much of the same thing against one of the best teams in the country the following day.
