In the latest episode of the Locked on Women’s Basketball Podcast, host Ben Dull is joined by Eric Nemchock of Swish Appeal to break down two big ranked women’s college basketball matchups from this season’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

Topics discussed in the episode include:

  • NC State prevailing at home despite their 28 turnovers led by Kai Crutchfield’s 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting
  • Maryland’s struggles inside the arc and expected areas of growth on that side of the ball this season
  • Elissa Cunane’s importance offensively against a high-caliber opponent, what Maryland did well to limit her touches and why Maryland’s defense was impressive beyond the forced turnovers
  • Indiana mustering up enough offense to win on the road without Grace Berger
  • Thoughts on Beatrice Mompremier’s 3-of-11 shooting and Miami’s overall shooting struggles
  • The subtle brilliance in what the Hoosiers are getting up front from Aleksa Gulbe, Brenna Wise and Mackenzie Holmes
