Quick weekend wrap

Rounding up the weekend for Terps men's and women's basketball commitments and targets ...

• Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College improved to 18-6 on the season with its 70-53 win over Butler C.C. Terps point guard commit Bobby Maze contributed 13 points, four rebounds and five assists, while Ken Bowman recorded 17 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks.

“We picked it up a whole lot in the second half,” sophomore Ken Bowman said. “Twenty-two points (in the first half) is not us, it’s not Hutch. We shot 13 threes in the first half and that’s not our game plan. I told the guys that we needed to lock up on defense and we will get our offense from that.”

Sean Mosley led a well-balanced St. Frances scoring attack yesterday with 16 points in the Panthers’ 72-71 overtime win over Cardinal Gibbons.

• 2009 UM center target Greg Echenique had 14 points for St. Benedict’s (N.J.) in its 77-63 win over Our Savior New American (N.Y.) on Saturday at the PrimeTime Shootout in Trenton, N.J. For highlight video of Echenique (and other PrimeTime participants), click here.

Lynetta Kizer ('08 UM commitment) led Potomac (Va.) with 18 points on Friday, but her squad suffered a 50-43 loss to Forest Park. Potomac (11-8) dressed just seven players, according to The Washington Post.

"We still have time left," said Kizer, alluding to the looming district tournament. "It's a tough loss, but we're still getting better."

• Last Thursday Terps point guard commitment Dara Taylor had one of her highest scoring games of the season with 26 points. Only problem for Taylor and her Caravel (Del.) Academy team was UConn recruit Elena Della Donne, who put up 51 points to lead Ursuline to a 76-51 win over Caravel.

I saw previously that Ken Bowman intended to take a visit to K State. Is that still the plan, has it happened, and what are his intentions re Maryland?

I'm not certain about his K-State visit plans, but his recruitment is kind of wait-and-see until after the season. There needs to be an open scholarship for him to commit to UM.
