Maryland will be a No. 10 seed and face No. 7 seed Iowa State in its first tournament game later this week.
The Maryland women’s basketball players started murmuring as they sat inside Xfinity Center on Sunday evening, patiently awaiting their NCAA tournament fate. The minutes ticked away, and team after team was announced, and the Terrapins ended up in the very last pairing named. There was little doubt the Terps would be included — the question was where and against whom?When Maryland was finally called, a bit of a good fortune came with an upcoming West Coast trip.
The good fortune was the fact Frese spent four years as an assistant at Iowa state under current Cyclones coach Bill Fennelly and has a bit of institutional knowledge on the opponent. She called Fennelly one of her most influential mentors. This is the first time since 2018 the Terps will not host games on the tournament’s opening weekend, which doesn’t include the pandemic-affected 2021 tournament that was played entirely in San Antonio. That honor is reserved for teams placed on the top four seed lines.
Maryland has advanced to at least the second round in 12 consecutive NCAA tournaments and in 18 of the past 19. Frese has missed the tournament just twice since taking over in College Park in 2002, and the winningest coach in program history has never lost in the first round with the Terrapins.
