STORRS ? Pretty much from the time the UConn coaching staff first began to formulate the best course of action for Monday nigth's Jimmy V Classic showdown with Maryland, the visions of seeing the Terrapins? towering and relentless frontcourt rip down one rebound after another has been hard for the UConn brain trust to shake. UConn has allowed more than 10 offensive rebounds in four of its first six games, and none of those teams has a trio anywhere near what Maryland possesses in double-double machine Tianna Hawkins, the incredibly underrated Alicia DeVaughn and all-everything All-American Alyssa Thomas. With sophomore forward Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis back in the starting lineup after missing Wednesday?s game with Colgate with a concussion, the Huskies will be as near as 100 percent as they have been all season. Starting guard Laurin Mincy became the third Maryland rotation player to suffer a torn ACL injury leaving the Terrapins with just eight scholarship players. ?We are down to eight players, but I couldn?t ask for eight better players in terms of who to coach and eight kids that bring it every single day,? Maryland coach Brenda Frese said. Look for the Huskies to harass a Maryland team that lost starting guards Brene Moseley and Laurin Mincy to torn ACL injuries and is extremely inexperienced in the backcourt. Bria Hartley missed nearly all of preseason camp and the first two games with a sprained ankle but is set to start her second straight game. When Jimmy V Classic organizers approached Maryland coach Brenda Frese about playing in the event, she never hesitated since the event raises money for cancer research and her son Tyler has been waging a battle with leukemia. Thomas leads the Terrapins with 27 assists and 11 steals, is the team?s second-leading scorer and is third in rebounding.
