These “upsets” aren’t that surprising. Everyone from the 5 seed to 12 seed had 9, 10 or 11 conference wins.

It seems like the Maryland matchup should be somewhat favorable to us? They aren’t THAT big, so Kampschroeder shouldn’t be to overwhlemed, but they’re a great offensive rebounding team, so seems like that’s what we need to be careful of. Smikle obviously will be handful. Seems like a game where we have to stay alive defensively on the glass and hope to outscore them. While they’re 10th in defense in conference to us being 9th, their raw defensive efficiency is pretty significantly worse.

While Maryland is a top 15 team, and we’re unranked, we’re nearly identical on Torvik (they’re #22, we’re #23), and the % chance is 51-49, so this is basically a coinflip analytically.

Just a quick reminder that Michigan women face #4 seed Maryland at 2:30pm (ish) EST in the Big Ten tourney on BTN.

Indiana and #1 seed USC currently playing. Really good game so far!

Awesome start by the ladies! 15-6 and Maryland calls an early timeout!

We’ll shoot 69% from the floor and 62% from three all game right

Maryland missed ten shots and only got 1 offensive rebound - they’re a top ten offensive rebounding team. That’s a serious win
