Maryland Fans Sound Off After Unranked Illinois Hands No. 7 Terps Costly Loss

Illinois secured the win with 20-of-23 free throws amid Maryland’s 18 turnovers and foul trouble in a closely contested Big Ten game.

  • In a back‑and‑forth, sloppy game at State Farm Center, Illinois Fighting Illini women's basketball team defeated Maryland Terrapins 73-70.
  • Illinois opened the third quarter on a 12-4 run that swung momentum their way, while Maryland committed costly turnovers including a bad under-basket pass that led to an intentional-foul sequence.
  • Berry Wallace led Illinois with a 22-point outing, and Illinois shot 36% from three and made 20-of-23 free throws.
  • Officials' calls affected the final sequence as a questionable illegal‑screen call with 15 seconds left produced a turnover, and Illinois' opponents missed free throws plus a contested layup.
  • Brenda Frese's squad dealt with early foul trouble as Addi Mack played only 14 minutes due to four fouls; the Maryland Terrapins outrebounded Illinois 39-30 and return home Sunday to host Indiana.
