This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
Another honor rolled in for Maryland women’s basketball senior guard Diamond Miller Wednesday, as she was named a regional finalist for the 2023 WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America Team.
The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association will release its All-America team later this month.
Leading the Terps to this weekend’s Sweet 16, Miller has had an astounding season. Miller is averaging career-bests in points (19.7), rebounds (6.5), assists (3.0), steals (2.1) and blocks (1.3) per game.
She has already received plenty of recognition for her sensational senior season, including being named a unanimous First Team All-Big Ten selection and an All-American by the USBWA, The Athletic and the Associated Press.
Miller, who is just 16 points away from being 10th on Maryland’s all-time scoring list, leads the Terps into battle against No. 3-seed Notre Dame on Saturday for a spot in the Elite Eight.
