No. 16 Maryland women’s basketball was gifted a chance to win the game at the end of overtime.

Saylor Poffenbarger drew a foul with 0.3 seconds left in overtime. All she had to do was make both of her free throws to win the game. She swished the first and it all came down to the second attempt.

Brick.

Neither team made a field goal in the final three minutes of double overtime, but No. 25 Washington made plays down the stretch to hand the Terps an 83-80 loss at Xfinity Center.

Poffenbarger had an earlier chance to give the Terps a two-possession lead, she once again went 1-of-2. Then, Elle Ladine knocked down a 3-pointer late in the fourth to send the game to overtime for the Huskies.

“I thought we left everything out there. Someone had to win, and someone had to lose. But I like how we competed for 50 minutes,” head coach Brenda Frese said.

Sellers came into the game ranked seventh in the Big Ten in scoring at 18.3 points per game. At the end of the first half, Sellers had just four points, shooting 2-for-9 from the field and 0-for-5 from behind the arc.

However, the second half was the exact opposite. She scored 34 points in the second half and set a new career high.

“I thought Sellers was sensational, especially in the second half and showed [that] she’s the All Big Ten player that she is… I thought she had her way with anyone we put on her,” Frese said.

After a 17-point fourth-quarter comeback fell just short in overtime against No. 8 Iowa on Sunday, the Terps found themselves in a very similar situation, with a chance to redeem themselves. They didn’t take it.

The Terps had at least three prime chances to win the game and didn’t convert. Missed free throws, missed clutch shots and poor execution played to their demise.

Oluchi Okananwa had a quiet game, forcing the Terps to receive some clutch plays from other options.

It was Addi Mack. She scored 20 points, beginning the first quarter 3-for-3 from behind the arc. Almost all of her buckets that passed that point came at an important possession of the game.

“Addi really grew up tonight, and I thought that was really positive to be able to see the growth that she’s made,” Frese said. “She just continues to keep getting in the gym and keeps working, and whenever you’re going to do that – and that’s what this team does – great things are in store.”

Maryland in their stretch of Big Ten play has lost their identity when it matters. A team at the beginning of the season who constantly flew down both sides of the court – offensively and defensively – just haven’t been able to sustain their success.

Maryland thrived all throughout the night in quick transition moments. But when it mattered most, it seemed like that success disappeared in half court sets.

“This is where teams can neutralize one another. The talent is really, really good. And for us, it’s been working through film and practice in some of our half court sets,” Frese said. “I think again, you just have to remember we have two freshman point guards who are baptismal by fire of just commanding it.

After two gut-wrenching losses at home, the Terps will try and take everything the team has learned and put it towards Oregon this weekend back in College Park on Jan. 31.
