"Maryland has reached the Sweet 16 in every NCAA tournament dating to 2021, except for one first-round loss in 2023. Brenda Frese has a successful history in the second round, and the production from Mir McLean and Kyndal Walker is promising."
"North Carolina will need to limit Maryland on the boards and keep them off the free-throw line, as Maryland made 19 of 22 free throws against Murray State."
"With uncertainty around Zoe Brooks' injury, the Wolfpack must rely on each other to advance, with players like Zamareya Jones needing to create bigger opportunities in the paint."
The second round of the NCAA tournament features 16 teams aiming for the Sweet 16. Maryland has a strong history in this round, with key players Mir McLean and Kyndal Walker contributing to their success. North Carolina faces a competitive matchup against Maryland, needing to control rebounds and limit free throws.
