ATLANTA – Senior Diamond Miller of the 17th-ranked Maryland women's basketball team is one of 50 top players in the country named to the Jersey Mike's Naismith Trophy Women's Watch List Friday by the Atlanta Tip-Off Club.
Earlier this fall, Miller was named to the Ann Meyers Drysdale Watch List and the All-Big Ten Preseason-Team for the second consecutive season.
Miller, a two-time All-Big Ten honoree and 2021 Big Ten Tournament Co-MVP, is Maryland's leading returning scorer after averaging 13.1 points and 4.0 rebounds last year. Miller earned All-Big Ten Second Team honors. She scored in double figures in 17 of her 22 games played on the year.
Miller became the 36th Terrapin to reach the 1,000-career points mark with her 23-point performance in the Terps' NCAA Tournament First Round win over Delaware.
The midseason 30 team will be announced in early January, and then the competition will be narrowed down to 10 national semifinalists in early March. Following those results, four finalists will be named on March 21, 2023, and the winner of the 2023 Jersey Mike's Naismith Trophy for Women's Player of the Year will be announced on March 29, 2023.
The Big Ten Conference placed the most athletes on the watch list with 10.
The Terrapins will host two of last year's Final Four teams, as they play one of the toughest schedules in the country. Their out of conference schedule is highlighted by home matchups with defending national champion No. 1 South Carolina and No. 6 Connecticut, as well as road trips to No. 18 Baylor and No. 9 Notre Dame.
Maryland will officially open the 2022-23 season on Monday, Nov. 7 with a road trip to George Mason. The Terps and the Patriots will tip off at 7 p.m. on ESPN+. The Terrapins will host No. 1 South Carolina in their home opener at the XFINITY Center on Friday, Nov. 11 at 6 p.m.
