Angel Reese is off crutches, per Instagram. Could be back before the NCAA tournament.

Her predicted return was the last week of February. Nice to see she is on schedule.

Did Frese say that publicly? The only timetable I saw was in the initial announcement, but Frese had told the Washington Post before the JMU game that she expected her to miss this season. That might've been her wanting to keep the pressure off Angel, though. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/12/19/maryland-womens-basketball-routs-james-madison/

Probably. The reports I heard was 12 weeks.

NCAAW: Maryland Terrapins’ Angel Reese out 12 weeks with foot fracture - Swish Appeal

That was December 3. So that's about the end of February.

Brendas pregame speech hasn’t clicked yet

OSU getting a lot of transition baskets.

15-7 OSU with 5:37 left in first

Brendas pregame speech hasn’t clicked yet

Did she say "Let's play Maryland basketball"?

 

[SECbbfan24]

Nice to see some offense. Especially when you watch LSU games all the time

3 point shots exist!

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Maryland is lucky to be down only 26-20. Too many turnovers and gave up too many offensive rebounds.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Benzan is impressive

Benzan is impressive

Looks like Maryland won the switch from Mikesell to Benzan.

10 turnovers and the Terps are losing the rebounding battle 22-15. tOSU have 13 offensive rebounds. The Terps have 12 defensive rebounds.

62-60 OSU end of third

OSU is a surprisingly good team.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Owusu is a stud

 

[SECbbfan24]

I am actually impressed with this OSU team. They have some very good players

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Nobody on the Maryland team can score right now other than Owusu. That is not a recipe for success.

 

[nwhoopfan]

OSU is a surprisingly good team.

The group of players that were there along w/ Kelsey Mitchell underachieved, maybe they gave their coach a bum rap. Maybe he can actually coach.

 

[Shades]

Maryland is on the ropes!

 

[nwhoopfan]

If MIller gets one more bucket then tOSU will have 3 w/ at least 20 (and Juhasz isn't one of them).

 

[Shades]

Is Maryland too tired to press defense? They have to do something to change the momentum quickly.

 

[Sched234]

Maryland has been undisciplined in this final quarter. Not a terrible loss, but was an avoidable one.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Maryland lost a lot of depth to transfer over the last two years.

 

[CBus13]

Ohio State is very fortunate Madison Greene last minute changed her mind (post-PSU coaching change) and came to Ohio State. She's been a refreshing point guard for this team compared to previous seasons.

 

[nwhoopfan]

tOSU got bit by the TO bug the last 2 possessions. Still enough time to choke this away.

I noticed this Ohio State team was decent a few days ago when they beat Michigan in the game Naz Hillmon scored 50 points and beat Iowa(Caitlyn Clark and co.), who beat Rutgers whom have Ariella Guirantes and Diamond Johnson.
