ACC POY Alyssa Thomas was just too strong for Navy to deal with as the Terps coasted to a 59-44 victory that was not as close as the final score indicated. Thomas finished with 17 points after a slow start in the first hald. Laurin Mincy finished with 14.
Maryland enjoyed a 46-33 rebound edge although Navy got inside for a few buckets in the 2nd half.

There was a serious lid on the Terps basket in the first half. Repeatedly Maryland missed inside shots that were probably a sign of pressing. Height and talent prevailed as Senior Kim Rodgers fired in 2 threes to turn the tide. In the 2nd half I look for the Terps to settle down and pull away. Navy seems content to fire up the 3s as they are unable to penetrate the interior defense of Hawkins, Thomas and Kizer.

I will be taking a week off from the shows –so no shows this Saturday and next Thursday. I will return next Saturday morning on Kelly & Associates Insurance Group Terp Talk. I will be around and blogging though. Full day at College park Saturday starting at 11AM with the Maryland Navy Basketball game, followed by the men’s lacrosse game between Maryland and Villanova, and after that the UNC Terrapin Baseball Game at 3PM.
Ramon Sessions seems destined to take over the starting point guard position, leaving Steve Blake as a 4 million dollar a year backup. I wonder how Kobe will react to losing Derek.
