Sweet 16 baby, Nice finish Heels.
Maryland Preview and Game Thread
- Thread starter ZinfanHeel
- Start date
Guess we know who deserved the 4 seed?
UNc defense was great but Maryland could not hit uncontested shots either. 32/13/55 shooting split is atrocious, negating their rebound and turnover advantages.
special shout-out to the facilities employee who tightened the rims.

This season has been the best coaching job of CB's time with us. Getting to the Sweet Sixteen with this rebuilt team is impressive.
Not to be snarky-but our ladies make contested layups a lot better than our men
Strong way to close a good year in Carmichael. This team fought like hell through the contact and kept their composure.
We were really composed after losing the lead.
Congrats Lady Heels on win and advancing to Sweet 16.
1. Elena Aarnisalo was $$.
2. Lanie Grant played a good game.
3. That 3 from Nyla Brooks huge!!

It’s the joy and happiness of Nyla and Indy for me:
Great strategy off scouting by CB. MD guards couldn't stop the dribble drive, and Heels stuck with it. Also winning plays in crunch time.
played 8 on 5 the whole game and still advanced! So proud of this team. This is what building a consistent winner looks like.
Oh yeah.... The "rayuffs" were atrocious!

And they continued to look good later on! Way to go, Heels!! So excited that we made the Sweet 16! So proud of our young women!
House money indeed! The last game of the season in Carmichael was a “sweet” one for sure!!
Took my mom and daughter to the game. Officiating was terrible. Thought the crowd was into it. Great 4th from Nivar and great game from EA and Grant
Ain't no doubt, beating Brenda Frese is kinda fun.

She has done that way too many times during her career here. As soon as the Maryland player started up court after the steal, I was yelling "don't do it, Indya", because I could see it coming.

As it appears it's the same situation which occurred with McPherson, her physical ability from knee surgery is not progressing as they had hoped. Have to admit that I was excited to see McPherson when she was able to play, and exciting player who enjoyed the game. Could be wrong as stated before, and hope that I am, but it will surprise me if she returns to the game she loves.
McPherson’s injury and complications much more severe. KM has had 5 surgeries related to ACL tears and cartilage loss. Kelly had arthroscopic surgery once.
with that said, no idea if Kelly is likely to heal.
I hope Reniya can come bck and have a great senior season.
Intense defensive pressure wears offensive players down and they lose focus. The Terps shooting woes wasn’t happenstance. They were rushing shots or just losing concentration and trying to draw fouls because of the really good defense we were playing as has been the case most of the season. Tired legs and lack of mental focus will impact FT shooting.
I was glad to see Coach Hatchell and Charlotte Smith there. I assume there were some hard feelings at the end of Hatchell’s tenure and I hope she’s been integrated back into the program.
Man, we always seem to be in UCONN's bracket when it comes to the NCAAT time. I do not know why Toomey's minutes went down today. I ladies that were in was playing really well and the rhythm was flowing so good that CB did not want to mess things up by taking one of them out. I think matchups and who we are playing is going to dictate who will play a lot of minutes and who won't. I think Toomey will play a good number of minutes against UCONN, I hope. Also, this is one and done time so coaches will have to play players who they think will give them the best chance of winning.
I have not watched UConn, but I assume we’re gonna have to make a bunch of threes. We did play them a couple years ago in Greensboro and I thought we gave them an OK effort but there are definitely tiers in the women’s game and they are at the top
In this game CB saw correctly that we could drive on them and they don’t slide over to help that much. So she took Toomey out for a bunch of the game and also moved Harris further out to set screens to free up drivers. Great coaching.
if Hatchell is being integrated back, i hope it is because she's worked on herself and not out of some sense of obligation on UNC's part.
It was interesting that during the Western Illinois game I sat right beside a lady who actually played against Sylvia in high school. She went on and on about how good a player she was and what a nice person she was. I have no personal knowledge of what may have happened In the past but I am glad to see her back. I think that puts a more positive light on the program rather than having some bad feelings linger.
This was last year. We lost 69-58. We got down by 11 in the first quarter and then matched them point for point the rest of the way. Bueckers had 29 points, Strong had 14. Fudd did not play. Indy had 15, Reyina had 9... then Lexi had 5 and Alyssa had 3. Toomey had 10.
Thank you for the refresh. I should’ve googled. It was a fun atmosphere. I was there and now I’m having this vague memory that the starters weren’t doing well so Coach put in a bunch of the youth and stayed with them.
We played UCONN last year in Greensboro as a non-conference game. That was SS first college game. The beat us pretty handily last year. SS was killing AU in that game. I think this was the game that CB took AU and LD out because they were having a horrible game. We did not have an answer for PB as well. Did you see the UCONN score against Syracuse. That had them 40 to 19 at the start. The completely dismantled Syracuse.
