TBT: Looking back at Maryland and Ohio State starters as recruits

It is Throwback Thursday once again, and today we compare the Terps starters to their Ohio St. counterparts. For the Buckeyes, Treyveon Henderons missed last week's game, but is expected to start this week according to Ryan Day. Same goes for Dawand Jones up front, who did not start last week at RT, but is expected to play this week. And just how good is their defensive front? Ty Hamilton is now starting in place of former Rivals100 DT Mike Hall Jr. because he has simply outplayed him. Also interesting to note that one of OSU's lowest rated starters comes from the state of Georgia. More at the link below.

WBB: No. 19 Terps best Davidson, 70-52, on Field Trip Day

COLLEGE PARK, MD -- No. 19 Maryland put on a show on the eighth annual Field Trip Day in front of 8,454 fans, including over 6,000 students from 41 schools, defeating Davidson 70-52 on Wednesday early afternoon.

Diamond Miller was the high-scorer for the Terps again with 19 points in addition to six assists. Abby Meyers added 14 points and crossed the 1,000-point threshold for her career. She also knocked down 3-of-6 from behind the arc. Faith Masonius hit the double-figure mark for the second consecutive game with 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting.

The Terps carried a 10-point lead into halftime behind 10 points from Diamond Miller. Maryland recorded assists on nine of its 11 first-half field goals. They continued to stretch the lead behind multiple Davidson scoring droughts.

The Terps were pesky defensively all game, forcing Davidson into 30 giveaways which they converted into 16 points. They also held the Wildcats to just 38 percent shooting from the field. Shyanne Sellers notched five steals while Miller had four.

Maryland improved to 3-1 on the young season heading into a showdown with No. 18 Baylor. On the other hand, Davidson dropped to 1-2 overall.


Brenda Frese's Take
"We always love this day. This was our eighth annual Field Trip Day. We had over, gosh, 6,300 kids from about 41 surrounding schools. The atmosphere was electric. I thought they brought a great amount of energy for us for an 11 a.m. tip. First half, again, as we're continuing to keep growing with our chemistry, the 14 turnovers in the first half were really what kept the game close. I thought we did a nice job adjusting to that in the second half. The third quarter with Lav, Faith, Shy, I thought they really gave us a punch that we needed to have to get some separation. Loved our defensive intensity. Thought that made up for the turnovers. We had a season-high 18 steals and forced 30 turnovers and we definitely needed every single one of them."

Myles Powell gets initial win over Willard, Seton Hall in lawsuit

A motion to dismiss Myles Powell's negligence lawsuit against Willard and Seton Hall was denied by a NJ court today. Doesn't mean Powell has won the suit, simply means they feel there is enough there to move forward with a trial. Honestly a bit surprised, as Powell is claiming if he had shut it down during his senior season he would have been a 1st round pick. Instead, he was 1st-team All-Big East, Big East Player of the Year, won the Jerry West Award and was a consensus 1st-team All-American......and still didn't get drafted! Strange, indeed.
