GREENVILLE, S.C. — Maryland gamers Abby Meyers and Diamond Miller expressed their frustration with the officiating in Monday evening’s 86-75 loss to South Carolina within the Elite Eight.
Meyers fouled out early within the fourth quarter, whereas Miller was restricted within the first half with foul hassle. Maryland was referred to as for 26 private fouls, whereas South Carolina was referred to as for 12. After Miller acquired a query in her postgame information convention about coping with the bodily means the Gamecocks performed inside, she responded, “It is humorous the way you say that when all of the fouls have been going a technique, I felt like.”
Meyers then chimed in, “So we have been the extra bodily workforce, apparently.”
And Miller continued, “So we have been actually bodily, as a result of apparently they have been getting all of the foul calls. That simply exhibits we have now coronary heart, we have now grit, and simply because they’re taller does not imply we will not bang. If y’all did not see that we have been banging at the moment, I do not know what might present you that. Yeah, clearly we wanted to be extra bodily, I suppose, on the offensive aspect, as a result of each time they hit us, nothing was referred to as.”
Maryland coach Brenda Frese pointed to the second quarter because the turning level within the sport. The Terrapins led 21-15 following the primary quarter after deciding to set the tone with their tempo, however the foul hassle then set in. South Carolina went to the foul line 14 instances, making eight of these free throws. In the meantime, Miller and Shyanne Sellers spent practically the complete second quarter on the bench with two fouls every.
“You felt such as you have been teaching with one arm behind your again,” Frese mentioned of the second quarter. “Once they have been calling so a lot of them, you have been form of simply juggling who you had on the bench and forwards and backwards, and it form of felt like that every one sport. You are simply attempting to see who you possibly can maintain within the longest.
“However that second quarter was pricey, the quantity of free throws. We’re usually a workforce that will get to the free throw line 20, 25 instances. We solely acquired there 15 instances, and it was 5 after half. They acquired there 26 instances. Simply tough attempting to form of determine who you possibly can maintain in there that wasn’t going to get into foul hassle. We tried to combine up our defenses to maintain us out of it, however they have been capable of exploit it from each ends.”
South Carolina coach Daybreak Staley was not particularly requested in regards to the officiating, however she did be aware how bodily the sport was from the very starting and that it took time for the Gamecocks to regulate.
“Maryland got here on and performed extraordinarily quick, simply shifting the ball up and down the ground,” Staley mentioned. “They have been extraordinarily bodily, and I assumed it simply took us some time to essentially make changes to how they have been enjoying us. We mainly simply fought aggression with aggression, as a result of they have been actually aggressive. Over time, I simply thought our depth and our skill to go inside and our skill to use slightly strain [made] it slightly tough for them to straight-line drive us or simply to get wide-open perimeter pictures.”
When requested for her general frustration with the best way the sport was being referred to as, Frese was extra diplomatic.
“I do not pour into issues you possibly can’t repair or management,” Frese mentioned. “You possibly can solely management yourselves. I wasn’t going to spend any power in that course. A number of these fouls have been pricey off [offensive] board putbacks. They’ve large measurement that basically impacted us, and I assumed they took benefit. I feel it made us tentative as soon as Shy and Diamond have been form of held out in that second quarter with the remainder of the group.”
Miller expressed delight in the best way her workforce performed regardless of among the calls she felt went in opposition to them. She led all scorers with 24 factors, however each she and Sellers completed with 4 fouls. Religion Masonius additionally fouled out of the sport.
“On the finish of the day, I am unable to dwell on what the refs name,” Miller mentioned. “I am not going to say the refs misplaced us the sport. That is not what I am saying by any means. I imply, they outrebounded us, as we form of anticipated, let’s be sincere. However they outrebounded us, and so they acquired extra second-chance factors. And it was our second quarter. They beat us 23-9. 9 factors in a single quarter is hard to return again from.”

Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News
![Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News](https://wtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/SAD_GIRL.GettyImages-1033774340-e1705449585875.jpg)
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24 in Maryland. That’s according to a new suicide prevention action plan produced through the state’s Department of Health.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24 in Maryland. That’s according to a new suicide prevention action plan produced through the state’s Department of Health.
Scott Poland, the director of the Office of Suicide and Violence Prevention at Nova Southeastern University College of Psychology, talked to WTOP about the action plan he authored with his wife, Donna, who is a career educator.
The “Maryland Action Plan to Prevent Suicide in K-12 Schools” serves as a reference guide to school administrators and the community, and was developed in cooperation with the state health department’s Office of Suicide Prevention.
Poland said one thing that surprises people is that children as young as 8 years old may consider taking their own lives.
“I hear from school personnel all around the country (asking if they) have to take it seriously (if a fourth or fifth grader is talking about suicide). And the answer is absolutely yes,” Poland said.
Among the data points in the action plan is a survey of students in the “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey of 2021/2022.” According to that survey, 21% of high school students “seriously considered suicide” in the past year, and 27% of middle schoolers considered suicide at some point in their lives.
Poland said it’s important to talk about suicide with young people, and that the idea that talking about it might encourage a young person to consider suicide is a “myth.”
“When we actually bring it up, it gives someone a chance to unburden themselves, to realize that they’re not alone, that there are alternatives and that there is help available,” Poland said.
But he said young people are most susceptible to imitating suicidal behavior: “It is important that we not glorify the suicide victim.”
Instead, Poland said, the emphasis after a suicide should be on healing those affected and helping them find appropriate ways to deal with their emotions and mental health.
The plan released this week includes providing intervention action plans for a young person who may be considering suicide.
“Part of that, of course, is removing lethal means and developing a written safety plan with them,” he said.
Poland said that can include helping people understand “the importance of calling 988, doing things that can calm themselves down,” and reaching out to the nearest trusted adult.
People can reach the national resource for crisis response services and suicide prevention by dialing 988.
Poland said social media is “wreaking havoc” on children’s emotional well-being, often making them feel “not smart enough, not rich enough, not good enough.” Poland said he’s currently working with the state of South Dakota on developing tools to help “young people be a little more mindful and make better decisions about their screen time.”
Poland said parents can help — when it comes to the hours and hours that many people spend online — by modeling healthy amounts of screen time themselves. And he said adults need to think about how they introduce technology to their kids.
“We’re in too (much of) a hurry to give kids smartphones and 24-hour internet access,” Poland said.
“I really have to compliment Maryland,” Poland said, on coming up with the new plan.
Poland said Maryland does not have an especially high rate of suicide, but “I think we all recognize that losing one young person to suicide is one too many.”

Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland
![Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4000,h_2250,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/GettyImages/mmsport/137/01j714ppf1xrvce2agzn.jpg)
Game two is coming up for Michigan State football as the Spartans hit the road for an early season Big Ten matchup against Maryland. The Terps have had MSU’s number in recent years, but the Spartans’ new-look team is ready to change that narrative this weekend.
Jonathan Smith and his staff have a lot to work on this week after a lackluster 16-10 win over Florida Atlantic, but we’ve become more than used to slow starts for MSU in their first game so it’s not time to panic just yet.
While the team wraps up their preparations for Maryland, let’s take a quick look at the Terps and see what we can learn about them before the big game on Saturday.
Maryland is off and running in their 2024 campaign and had an absolutely dominant week one performance. The Terps took on UConn at home and came away with an impressive 50-7 win. Sure UConn is an awful football program, but we saw how poorly Michigan State just did against a similar opponent.
Not only was the final score lopsided, but ever major statistical category was as well. Maryland doubled UConn in first downs and rushing yards, threw for nearly 400 passing yards and even won the turnover battle 3-0. The Terps also only had five penalties for 45 yards which is significantly better than MSU’s 12 for 140 yards against FAU.
Sure all of this took place against UConn, but it appears that Maryland is in a very good spot heading into this big week two matchup.
One thing that I thought would be a positive for Michigan State in this game is that Maryland is breaking in a new quarterback as well. The Terps’ quarterback, Billy Edwards Jr., went off against UConn and completed 20-of-27 passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns. He also is a capable runner and added 39 yards on the ground, so Michigan State will have its hands full on Saturday slowing him down.
The Terps don’t have one standout running back in the backfield, so that does benefit MSU. They do however have two solid backs in Roman Hemby and Nolan Ray who both ran for over 60 yards and one score each.
The one player however that Michigan State needs to pay the most attention to is wide receiver Tai Felton. He had one of the best Week 1 performances in the country as he recorded seven receptions for 178 yards and two touchdowns. Thankfully MSU’s defense and secondary looked much improved against FAU, so hopefully that carries over into this weekend’s matchup.
The opportunity in front of MSU on Saturday is massive. The Spartans are big underdogs in this matchup which they probably deserve, but a win would do wonders not just for the overall perception of the team but for their confidence moving forward.
I’ve got a strange feeling that we’re going to be very happy around 7 p.m. ET Saturday night.
