Where: Comcast Center
When: 7 p.m.
Records: No. 5 Terrapins 22-2, 6-1 ACC; Hurricanes 8-12, 1-4
Record Watch: Maryland senior forward Crystal Langhorne needs two points to reach 2,000 for her career, which would make her the first woman to reach the milestone at the school. She also would become the 16th ACC player to score 2,000 points and only the fourth ACC player to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds in the NCAA era.
On Target: You don't want to challenge the Terrapins to a H-O-R-S-E contest. They are making 49.7 percent of their shots, which tops Division I. Langhorne (63.7 percent) and Laura Harper (62.6 percent) each rank among the top five individually.
On the Skids: Miami has lost three in a row and its only ACC victory was a 66-61 win at Clemson. Part of the Hurricanes' problems stem from their lack of scoring. Miami ranks 10th among the 12 teams, averaging 64.5 points per game. Don't blame Maurita Reid, though. Reid averages an ACC-best 2.9 three-pointers per game.
No More OTs: It is unlikely Maryland will face its third consecutive double-overtime game. Last year, the Terrapins beat Miami, 111-53.
