No. 20 Terps Defeated By No. 8 UConn In Storrs

Box Score STORRS, CT -- No. 20 Maryland was unable to come away with a top-ten win on the road, falling at No. 8 UConn 80-48 Thursday night at Gampel Pavilion.

The Terps led by five midway through the second quarter, but a late flurry from the Huskies to close the first half proved to be too much to overcome.

Jakia Brown-Turner scored 13 points and grabbed a team-best seven rebounds. Shyanne Sellers added 16 points for the Terps (1-2).

Paige Bueckers scored 24 to lead the Huskies (2-1). 

Breaking Down The Action
  • A Shyanne Sellers three-pointer in the first quarter's closing seconds pulled the Terps within 14-11. The first ten minutes were a defensive battle on both sides, with the Terps holding the Huskies scoreless for over four minutes at one point. 
  • Maryland opened up a 23-18 lead early in the second quarter as Sellers started to take over, scoring a quick five points to open the quarter. 
  • A 12-0 UConn run helped the Huskies to a 42-27 halftime lead. 
Double-Figures Factors
  • Shyanne Sellers' 13 points marked the 44th time she reached double-digit scoring in her career. She scored 10 points in the first half alone. 
  • Jakia Brown-Turner notched her 70th career game scoring at least 10 points, tallying 13 at UConn. The NC State transfer has scored at least 10 points in each of her first three games as Terp. 

Up Next
  • The Terps return home and will host Syracuse on Sunday, Nov. 19 at noon at the XFINITY Center. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
