Another scoring run by UNC, this time 10-2, forces the Terps to call a timeout. North Carolina shooting an astounding 57.7% (15-for-26) from the floor with Harris, Aarnisalo and Grant a combined 12-18 for 26 of UNC's 34 points.

Meanwhile, Maryland is 1 for its last 7 shots, and 1-for-8 from 3-point range so far today.

Halftime - UNC leads 42-33

Elina Aarnisalo drills a top of the key 3-pointer for her first shot from outside the paint and its cash to give the Tar heels a nine-point advantage. Extremely efficient shooting from North Carolina in the first half, but 10 turnovers and allowing Maryland 10 offensive rebounds to score 10 second-chance points has kept the game closer than it could be.

Feels like we should be up by 15. Hull is doing a nice job on defense which hasn't necessarily been her forte in the past. Brooks has helped a lot on the defensive boards where Toomey has struggled. LG and EA have been very good. Can't let up on them though. They are dangerous and the are loving giving them FTs.

Indya Nivar goes to the bench with her 4th foul after picking up two quick ones in under 3 minutes into the second half.

Time to end the small ball experiment, get Harris or Toomey back in with Queiroz.
