WBB: Sellers named to Preseason All-Big Ten team

TSR ScottGreene
ROSEMONT, IL – Junior Shyanne Sellers of the Maryland women's basketball team was named to the All-Big Ten Preseason Team Wednesday.

Sellers, an All-Big Ten honoree last year, is Maryland's leading returning scorer after averaging 13.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists last year. She scored in double figures in 28 of her 35 games played on the year.

Last season, Sellers was named to the All-Big Ten First Team by the league's media panel and to the Second Team by the head coaches. She was also named to the All-Big Ten Defensive Team. Sellers was named the Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year and to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team in 2022.

The Terrapins were picked to finish fourth in the Big Ten by both the league's head coaches and media panel. Both groups picked Iowa to win the conference. The coaches selected Ohio State to finish second and Indiana to finish third with Illinois rounding out the top five.

The media panel selected Indiana to finish second, Ohio State third and Michigan fifth.

The Terrapins will play four of the other seven Elite Eight teams from the 2023 NCAA Tournament this season. The Terps will play non-conference matchups at South Carolina (Nov. 12) and at UConn (Nov. 16). They will host Iowa on Saturday, Feb. 3 and Ohio State on Wednesday, Jan. 17 at the XFINITY Center. Maryland will make a return trip to Ohio State on Sunday, Feb. 25.

After being picked to finish fourth in the league last year, the Terrapins finished 28-7 overall and 15-3 in league to finish tied for second. Maryland advanced to the program's 15th Elite Eight and first since 2015. The Terrapins picked up nine wins over ranked teams, including five over top 10 opponents.

Head coach Brenda Frese welcomes back All-Big Ten First Team honoree Shyanne Sellers, key returners Faith Masonius, Lavender Briggs, Brinae Alexander and Bri McDaniel from last year's Elite Eight squad. Maryland also welcomes five newcomers in NC State graduate transfer Jakia Brown-Turner and incoming freshmen Summer Bostock, Hawa Doumbouya, Emily Fisher and Riley Nelson. Emma Chardon and Allie Kubek will return from injuries.

Snap Counts & PFF Grades: Indiana

TSR ScottGreene
Here are your snap counts and PFF grades from Saturday's win over the Hoosiers. A few observations....the Terps tackled well once again. This has been a very sure tackling team for the most part.

Mike Purcell started and got the bulk of the snaps at center. Just when you think they have the o-line all settled, they don't.

No Colby McDonald after he looked good the previous two games.

Full snap counts and grades at the link below.

Lia named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week

TSR ScottGreene
No surprise here, as Taulia Tagovailoa has been named B1G OPOW after throwing for 352 yards and five touchdowns, plus another TD on the ground. Full release below:

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – After throwing for 352 yards and accounting for six touchdowns in Maryland’s 44-17 win over Indiana, senior quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa has been named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.

Tagovailoa is the only player in Maryland history to have garnered Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week on three separate occasions, also earning the honor on Sept. 12, 2022 and Nov. 2, 2020.

In Maryland's win over Indiana, which improved the Terps to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the Big Ten, Tagovailoa completed 24-of-34 passes and threw a career-high five touchdown passes. The senior quarterback is the first Terp to throw five touchdowns in a game since Scott Milanovich in 1994.

Tagovailoa also became the first Maryland quarterback ever to eclipse the 9,000 career passing yards mark in the win over the Hoosiers. He currently ranks 13th all-time in Big Ten history with 9,343 career passing yards.

Tagovailoa, who also rushed for 15 yards and scored a touchdown on the ground against Indiana, now has 14 career 300-yard passing games.

The Terps travel to Columbus on Saturday to take on No. 4 Ohio State in a battle of unbeaten Big Ten East teams. The game will be broadcast on FOX as part of its Big Noon Kickoff. It can also be heard on the Maryland Sports Radio Network.
