UM Women Hoopsters Beat #13 Maryland 71-65
They are back on the saddle with a huge home win against Maryland! This should be the clincher for a tourney bid. Nice win and go blue!
Edit: First win ever over Maryland in UM Womens program history! (Thanks Ty and k.o.k.)

Congratulations to the ladies.
It was not pessimism when they had lost 4 of the last 5. Without this win, they would have been out. With an RPI of 47 before tonight this is not entirely set. Let's hope that they get 1 or 2 wins in the BIG tournament so they get a decent seed.

I agree with you that they would've been in trouble if they lost tonight. Their RPI is now up to 39, so they're in good shape.

Mostly she wasn't looking for her outside shot, then hit a big 3 in crunch time.

Much needed win.

One of the announcers said Michigan needs to win a couple in the BIG tourney.

This win almost certainly clinches an NCAA bid for them. All the Big Ten tourney might change is their NCAA seed. They're probably looking at an 8 or 9 seed right now. 10 seed would actually be better because facing a 1 seed in the WBB tourney is pretty much a sure L.

maryland is super-talented. they're quick, they're big, they play tough defense. kaila charles is scary good. i can see them making a final four run in the near future, if not this year. but we're just really good...we got up early, stretched it to 12 around the middle of the 2nd quarter, but they closed before half and i don't think it ever got beyond six in the second half. couldn't put them away, but we also counterpunched every single time we got hit.
just a tough, tight win. gritty.
i frankly thought we were already in the tournament, but this should seal it barring a first-round blowout (and the sparty loss in east lansing is our only loss to a mediocre team).

At home. Huge win.
GO BLUE!!
