No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball used one of its strongest second halves of the season to take down Illinois Sunday afternoon, 82-71.
It was senior day in College Park, and senior guard Diamond Miller once again led the way, scoring 31 points, just one shy of her career high.
Here are some takeaways from the commanding victory.

After a sloppy and uninspiring first half, the Terps exploded in the latter 20 minutes, putting on a clinic on both sides of the floor.
