My take—Sorry I can’t call this an upset. The Terps dominated from the opening whistle. The Volunteers had no answer for ACC POY Alyssa Thomas. Kudos to Brenda who guides the Terps to an Elite 8 game against Louisville Tuesday night. Unfortunately the game is in Louisville, but the X factor is definitely Alyssa.

Maryland coach Brenda Frese wanted her Terrapins to send a reminder that they’re still playing, too. They did just that by sending home an eight-time national champion and putting themselves a win away from a Final Four.
Alyssa Thomas scored a career-high 33 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as fourth-seeded Maryland upset No. 1 seed Tennessee 73-62 on Sunday in the Louisville Region semifinal at the KFC Yum! Center.
“Maybe people will start talking about Maryland and what Maryland’s accomplished,” Frese said. “We have a story too. We have tradition. I’m so proud of how these kids fought.”
