After a double dose of drama, Maryland advances to the Sweet 16
Chaos reigned inside Xfinity Center on Monday night.
Maryland Coach Brenda Frese waved her arms in desperation. Alabama guard Sarah Ashlee Barker set a school record, pouring in 45 points. Maryland guard Sarah Te-Biasu buried three-pointer after three-pointer. The fans didn't sit for what seemed like an eternity.
With 1.8 seconds left in the second overtime and Maryland holding a three-point lead, the building rocked as 'Swag Surfin'' blared from the speakers. A steal by Te-Biasu sent the Terrapins into a frenzy as the buzzer sounded — and propelled Maryland to the NCAA women's basketball tournament's Sweet 16 with a 111-108 victory over Alabama, which had led by 17 points in the second half.
