UConn transfer Amari DeBerry commits to Maryland women’s basketball

Maryland women’s basketball continued to bolster its roster Sunday when UConn forward Amari DeBerry announced her commitment to the Terps.

DeBerry’s decision to join the Terps had been highly anticipated since she entered the portal on April 8, and the 6-foot-6 forward now becomes the fifth transfer that head coach Brenda Frese has landed this cycle. Frese has one scholarship spot to work with.

The rising senior played sparingly during three seasons with the Huskies. This past year, DeBerry scored just 22 total points while averaging less than five minutes per game — the lowest amount of playing time of her career.

The Williamsville, New York native was one of the most highly-touted prospects in the country coming out of high school, ranked the No. 15 recruit in the 2021 class. However, early injuries heavily limited her role as she began to fall out of favor with Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma.

DeBerry also has international experience, having won gold at the 2021 FIBA U19 World Cup and 2019 FIBA Americas U16 Championship.

She is the third forward addition made by Frese this offseason, who often saw her team struggle in the paint and on the boards against top teams over the past two years.

Maryland’s front court for next season is currently composed of DeBerry, Allie Kubek, Emma Chardon — who is recovering from a torn ACL — Mayé Touré and freshman Breanna Williams.

Penn State a Heavy Favorite Over Maryland in Regular Season Finale

The oddsmakers are expecting Penn State to run away with a victory in its regular season finale against Maryland. The Nittany Lions are a 24.5-point favorite when the Terrapins come to Happy Valley on Saturday.

Penn State is coming off a gritty 26-25 victory at Minnesota in a back-and-forth thriller on Saturday night. The Nittany Lions put the game away with a 5:48 drive to run out the clock that featured three fourth down conversions, including a fake punt that resulted in a 32-yard run by true freshman Luke Reynolds.

Maryland fell to Iowa 29-13 in its home finale on Saturday. The Terps were unable to overcome a 13-0 halftime deceit and an offense that could only produce 227 yards on the day. Maryland enters the game on a four-game losing streak, and have lost six of its last seven. The 4-7 Terps have won only once in Big Ten play, beating USC 29-28 in a fourth quarter comeback.

Penn State beat Maryland 51-15 in 2023 in the teams last meeting. The Nittany Lions and Terps will kickoff at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, with coverage provided by BTN. The game will serve as Senior Day for Penn State.
