This team quit yesterday. Could see it around the 8 minute mark TO. Had lost their 16 point lead. Body english was terrible. Brief glimpse of hope at the very end which then blows up with an incredibly bad inbound pass from Young. Just be done already.

ROSEMONT, IL – Three members of the Maryland women’s basketball team (17-12, 9-9 B1G) earned All-Big Ten honors from the league’s media panel and head coaches Tuesday.

Junior Shyanne Sellers was named a First Team honoree by both groups. Graduate student Jakia Brown-Turner was named to the Second Team by the league’s coaches and earned Honorable Mention honors from the media. Sophomore Bri McDaniel earned Honorable Mention honors from both groups.

Sellers earned First Team honors from the media for the second straight season. She led the Terrapins in scoring with 15.3 points per game and in assists with 5.3 per game. Sellers was second on the team in rebounds (5.0 rpg) and in steals (1.4 spg).

Sellers, who was a Preseason All-Big Ten honoree, has scored in double figures in 22 of 28 games this season. She has picked up four double-doubles on the year and was named to the Big Ten Player of the Week Honor Roll twice. She was also named to the Naismith, Lieberman and Wooden Award Watch Lists.

Brown-Turner averaged a team-high 15.7 points per game in conference play. She also leads the Terrapins in rebounding (6.5 rpg). Brown-Turner has scored in double-figures in 21 games, including the last 14 straight, which were all in conference play. She has picked up six double-doubles on the year and was named to the Big Ten Player of the Week Honor Roll twice.

McDaniel averaged 13.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and led the Terps with 48 steals in her sophomore season. She increased her scoring by 10.0 points and rebounding by 2.4 from her rookie campaign. McDaniel scored in double figures in 18 games, including 12 in Big Ten play.

Freshman Riley Nelson earned a Big Ten Sportsmanship Award. Nelson played in 16 games for Maryland and averaged 5.1 points before suffering a season-ending knee injury in January.

Maryland will play ninth-seeded Illinois (14-14, 8-10) Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET in the 2024 TIAA Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament Second Round at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn.

Thursday’s game will be televised on the Big Ten Network. Click here for the full bracket and tournament information page.

Maryland finished in a three-way tie for sixth in the Big Ten and will be the No. 8 seed in the 2024 TIAA Big Ten Tournament this week at the Target Center in Minneapolis. The Terrapins tied with Michigan and Penn State in the final league standings.

With Maryland's Mike Jones getting the ODU job, it is going to be very interesting to see how some things shake out. I mentioned ODU assistant Jordan Brooks in another thread. I'd guess Jones will likely try to keep him on board, especially given the fact they have a pretty good recruiting class coming in.

What will be real interesting here, is will they now push to try to get Tyrell Ward at ODU. I'm thinking yes. That isn't to say he'll have any interest in going there if he were to enter the portal and Maryland were to pursue, but he is very close to Brooks and played for Jones at DeMatha. Would certainly be something to keep an eye on.

As for Rodney Rice, I still think he's likely to end up at Maryland, even with Jones headed to ODU. I don't think he has any interest in going down a level.

As for who could replace Jones? I mentioned Brooks but I think that is less likely now. One name to keep an eye on, and I know this is someone I mention every time there is an opening, is Rhode Island assistant Kenny Johnson. Archie Miller is really struggling and Johnson has paid his dues. It is time to bring him home and see if he can rekindle some of that magic he had on the trail for years with Indiana and Louisville. He's a Maryland grad and I think would really attack this job like few others.

Another name, and again, I've mentioned this one numerous times, is Mike Pegues, currently an assistant at Butler under Thad Matta. If you are looking for a really good big man coach, he's about as good as they get. DeMatha grad, plugged into the local AAU scene but again, he can really coach 'em up.

Those are just a few early thoughts with tonight's news. We'll have to see how things develop in the coming weeks.

There is a ton of smoke right now that Team Thrill director Mookie Dobbins is the clear front runner to replace Mike Jones.

For those that don’t know, Dobbins basically led Queen’s recruitment along with his mother and was also Julian Reese’s AAU coach.

If you read my post earlier today about how a lot of current assistants seem to be viewing the opening, this makes a lot of sense.

Obviously the hope would be that adding Dobbins would likely help in keeping Reese in the fold and also hopefully help with some future recruits.

This move would also be very similar to one Willard made when he was at Seton Hall when he hired Lincoln’s Tiny Morton to land Isaiah Whitehead and Desi Rodriguez.

We're about 45 minutes away from tipoff between the Terps and Hoosiers in College Park. This will be the final home game for seniors Jahmir Young and Donta Scott. They certainly deserve to go out with a win.

Maryland students will find gold rush t-shirts on their seats when they arrive as the team will also wear gold today.

Also worth noting that both Jahari Long and Jordan Geronimo will be honored today as seniors. Both obviously still have eligibility left and in the case of Geronimo, it is interesting because initially they went out of their way to list him as a redshirt junior and now he's listed as a senior.

Game can be seen on CBS.

We won, but what up with the 7th inning?

9 given up to VCU....6 given up to Washington

I know, I know. That's a lot of points for a struggling Maryland team. But win this one by a convincing margin on national television (CBS at 2:00) and we have an outside chance at playing later in March. Is that likely? Probably not. Oh well.

I’m satisfied, ET, no matter what happens tomorrow. 😀

I'm at the Baltimore Catholic League semifinals at Goucher College. Spalding up on #1 seed Mt. St. Joe early in 3rd. Any of these kids other than Malik Washington Terps targets? No sign of KW.

Scott:

I realize with the portal that things are more fluid than ever with hoops rosters, but based on what you know and your best hunch about the Terp hoops roster for 2024-25, what is your way too early projection for the team next season?

Another write up from Jason Jordan of the national team who watched Montverde at Day 1 of the Pete Hollis Showcase in South Carolina yesterday. Queen continues to dominate as he had a huge outing versus Veritas Academy with 19 points, 7 boards and a team-high five blocks. They will conclude the regular season Saturday versus Canadian powerhouse Orangeville Prep. More at the link below.
