In what was billed as an early-season showcase, both programs showed spots for improvement if they are to contend for titles come spring, but nonetheless, the game confirmed that South Carolina and Maryland have the talent to do just that. ADAD“We have a lot of lessons to learn out of this,” said Maryland senior Kaila Charles, noting how South Carolina set the pace and outrebounded the Terps 54-38. Before this season, South Carolina brought in the nation’s top-ranked recruiting class, and Maryland’s was third — so this matchup featured plenty of freshman phenoms beyond Boston and Owusu. Five newcomers started: Owusu and Diamond Miller for Maryland and Boston, Zia Cooke and Brea Beal for South Carolina. ADADWhen Maryland visited South Carolina last season, the Terps left with an emphatic 85-61 win.
