Indiana basketball team, led by Kel'el Ware with 26 points and 11 rebounds, secured a 70-58 victory against Minnesota. The Hoosiers have won three consecutive games and are gearing up for their regular-season finale against Michigan State. Ware's impressive performance included 12 points and 7 rebounds in the first half. The game drew a high attendance of over 11,300 fans at the Barn. Meanwhile, Maryland staged a remarkable comeback against Illinois, securing a 75-65 victory in the Big Ten Tournament. Bri McDaniel shone with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and three steals for Maryland.
Maryland couldn't have asked for a better half. But McMahon isn't going to shoot like that all game. Gotta get ready for this second half push. Gotta get better against the press. Terps have done a great job on the boards 29-15. https://t.co/zzeez26Ne3
Shyanne Sellers hits a runner in the paint to beat the buzzer and send Maryland into halftime with a 38-30 lead. She stands in the paint looking at the crowd, does a slow turn before Bri McDaniel rushes her from the bench. Brown-Tuner 10 points. Masonius 10. McMahon 1 for 9.
Terps take it and run with it! 🐢 💨 @TerpsWBB https://t.co/D8NHNVFgxX
Coming off the loss to Indiana in the final home game, Ben Johnson said his #Gophers players were disappointed because "they know we have put together a pretty good year." They're motivated to end the regular season on a good note Saturday in Evanston. @StribSports @GopherMBB
First timeout: OSU 11, Maryland 10. Buckeyes picked up the full-court defense that rattled the Terps a bit during an 8-0 stretch. Maryland attacking the rim, but gotta finish better.
Great start for Maryland. 8-3 lead. McDaniel with 3 assists already. Getting stops on D, though McMahon has missed a couple bunnies and 2 free throws.
Maryland starters: Sellers, Brown-Turner, Masonius, Alexander, McDaniel
IU's win streak is well-timed, but the runway to land the plane back onto the NCAA tournament bubble is still remarkably short. Big Ten autobid still probably the Hoosiers' only path: https://t.co/cE5mAW20uP via @indystar #iubb
Bri McDaniel had 20 points, 10 rebounds and three steals, Jakia Brown-Turner added 14 points and eight boards, and No. 8 seed Maryland beat ninth-seeded Illinois 75-65 on Thursday in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament. https://t.co/LR3mi9UCn2
Bri McDaniel just being a DAWG 😤🔥 @TerpsWBB x @bri_doll23 x @B1Gwbball https://t.co/SDl403gV4V
"Staying poised, being disciplined... just being a dawg." 😤👏 Bri McDaniel has more on what went into this @TerpsWBB comeback victory. @B1Gwbball x @bigten x @bri_doll23 https://t.co/kojkFmr99c
Maryland moves on! @TerpsWBB takes down Illinois in their largest comeback victory this season 💪🐢 @B1Gwbball x @bigten https://t.co/KbEdwYGT0f
And that's it. Maryland will advance to face No. 1 seed Ohio State after a 75-65 victory over Illinois. McDaniel 20 pts, 8 rebs Brown-Turner 14 points, 8 rebs. Kubek 13 and 6. Sellers 11 and 8 assists. Largest comeback of the year for Maryland after trailing by 14 at end of 1Q
Sellers picks up her 5th. She's done for the day with 3:33 left. Terps gotta close without her.
Maryland takes control 😤🐢 An 11-0 run for @TerpsWBB solidifies the lead heading into the 4th quarter! @B1Gwbball x @bigten https://t.co/QLD57Qc93k
Sellers feeling it. Just banked in a runner. She's in attack mode. But just picked up her 3rd foul. Frese keeping her in.
Terps take the lead! 🙌🐢 @shyannesellers3 x @BruhhNaeNae x @TerpsWBB https://t.co/B81CK8A02c
Sellers jumper from the top of the circle and Maryland is up 51-50. Timeout Illinois. That's a 12-2 run. First lead for the Terps since it was 5-4, which was their only lead of the game.
It's probably all a little late, but IUcould have packed this season in and instead is playing its best basketball at the time of year when that matters. The Hoosiers earned the right to wonder where that takes them. Insider from Wednesday night: https://t.co/s84i7wosDF #iubb
JBT for 3 🐢 @TerpsWBB closing in 🔥👀 @JustJakiaa x @B1Gwbball https://t.co/ncOYU4tNLj
Bri McDaniel 5 for 8, 12 points. Misses her second free thrown then steals the ball back. Her energy has been huge this quarter.
Illinois 3 for 11 in 2Q.
Kubek triple from the left wing. Terps offense is much more dynamic when she can stretch the floor like that.
Another trey for @BruhhNaeNae 👏 @TerpsWBB x @B1Gwbball https://t.co/QzPGAj4Vd3
Maryland with more points in less than 5 mins of the second quarter (11) than they scored in all of the first quarter (10). Chipping away. Defense has picked up too. Illinois up 31-21 with 4:55 left before halftime.
Illinois doing a good job of getting back on transition D. Every time Maryland tries to run, there's 3-4 Illini packing the paint.
McKenzie ➡️ Hobby to extend the Illini lead! 💪 @IlliniWBB x @B1Gwbball https://t.co/37Mdh90oue
Illinois on a 14-2 run and Frese calls timeout. Illini up 18-7 with 4:23 left in 1Q. Shooting 8 for 9 from the field while the Terps are 3 for 12.
8 straight unanswered for the Illini 🔥👀 @IlliniWBB x @B1Gwbball https://t.co/rjXHR1AOMk
Brinae Alexander for 3! 🙌🐢 @BruhhNaeNae x @TerpsWBB https://t.co/Eu8pY4vX5t
Brinae Alexander hits her first 3 attempt. Terps NEED her today, and in the postseason in general.

A lot this winter failed whatever was the master plan before this season started. But undeniably, Indiana is playing its best basketball at the time of year to do it. The Hoosiers have earned the right to wonder where it can take them. Insider: https://t.co/s84i7wosDF #iubb
IU couldn’t win, and now it can’t lose. After Hoosiers’ third straight win last night at Minnesota, says #iubb insider @ZachOsterman: “Turnabout remains fair play. If he gets blamed for what went wrong, he gets praised for what’s now going right.” https://t.co/sTNB1gnK5B

A BIG three for Rutgers to close out the third quarter! The Scarlet Knights are keeping it close heading to the fourth. 👀 📺 @peacock | @RutgersWBB https://t.co/5Sq4Hmqi8L
Watching the IU game while writing. My informed take is Kel'el Ware looks like a top-10 recruit. IU leads 30-25 at halftime. #iubb

Make that a 10-0 run for #Hoosiers. Ware is dominating with 12 points and 7 rebs in first half. IND leads 28-23. https://t.co/OvYUPaz6Go
Ben Johnson talked yesterday about Dawson Garcia having a goal returning home to get fans packing the Barn again. #Gophers SR Day win last week against Penn St drew the highest announced attendance this season at over 11,300.
