The Terrapins' standout guard said she finally feels 100 percent healthy and more like herself heading into the NCAA tournament.
without a victory for the first time and suddenly had more practice time than expected before the NCAA tournament. There was self-evaluation for the team and for individual players. Miller said she finally feels 100 percent and more like herself.“I screamed — and I needed that,” she said. “Sometimes you need that little [something]. I had that moment, so that was good. It was a scout guy. But he was [talking trash], so I had to let him know.
The return of the real Diamond Miller could be the biggest factor in the success — or lack thereof — for No. 4 seed Maryland in the NCAA tournament. The Terps open against No. 13 seed Delaware at 5 p.m. Friday in College Park. An argument can be made that Miller, as a 6-foot-3 guard who can handle the ball, score on each level and defend every position, is the most adaptable player on the roster. She brings a bit of Scottie Pippen versatility to the floor when she’s at her best.
“I think we’re stronger [now],” Miller said. “We went through a lot more problems, and we dealt with them, and now we’re ready.” That’s what Maryland fans want to hear — particularly from Miller. Family, members coaches and teammates could see that her confidence was shaken, which is a stark departure from her typical gregarious tone. Frese pointed out that the knee issue was her first significant injury and that all players deal with that in their own way. Frese didn’t want to be overbearing, but she sent a highlight reel to serve as a reminder on top of regular conversations between the pair.
