Key Highlights
- The Terps’ gameplan blew up in their face, and they suffered their worst defeat of the season. Here are three takeaways from the loss. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBetts didn’t kill the Terps…Last season, Lauren Betts scored a career-high 33 points against Maryland on 14-of-15 shooting. Whatever the Terps tried to do to limit her didn’t work.
- They tried having Amari DeBerry and Christina Dalce guard her; but no matter the coverage, she was the driving force behind UCLA’s victory last season. The Terps did a better job of containing Betts on Sunday, but the game was significantly more out of reach nonetheless.“[They] got a 6-foot-7 center inside that we started with the gameplan inside out, and she did a great job,” Frese said. Maryland rotated Isimenme Ozzy-Momodu, Breanna Williams and Marya Boiko on Betts.
- Despite having clear size advantages on each of them, there wasn’t as much of a dominant performance from her. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBetts only had 11 points.
- She came into Sunday averaging 16.4 points per game. Ozzy-Momodu committed three fouls while trying to guard Betts.
- Boiko has the closest frame to Betts, but played just seven minutes and did not have much of an effect on the contest — she finished the game as a +1. Williams played 13 minutes and was also challenged with contesting Betts.
