ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 8-ranked University of Michigan women's basketball team (23-5, 14-3 Big Ten) completes the regular season on Saturday (Feb. 28), welcoming No. 14 Maryland (23-6, 11-6 Big Ten) to Crisler Center for a 2:30 p.m. game on Fox. Michigan will honor its senior class before the game and will raise Katelynn Flaherty's jersey to the rafters at halftime.
Notes
• Michigan will honor its senior class of Alyssa Crockett, Brooke Quarles Daniels and Ally VanTimmeren before the game as part of Senior Day. Crockett has appeared in 101 career contests as Michigan's lone four-year player. She is averaging nearly three points and two rebounds in nine minutes per game during her final collegiate season. Quarles Daniels joined Michigan after two years at Oakland. She topped the 1,000-point mark for her career this season and already ranks 27th all-time at Michigan with 122 steals. Much like BQD, VanTimmeren joined the Wolverine program prior to the 2024-25 season with two years of eligibility after beginning her career at Boston College. She has played in 116 collegiate games, 40 of them coming in a Michigan uniform. She has seen action in 17 games off the bench this season.
• Katelynn Flaherty Yates will have her No. 3 jersey honored during halftime against Maryland. She is the all-time leading scorer in Michigan basketball history -- men or women -- with 2,776 points over her four-year career. The 2018 Michigan Female Athlete of the Year, she also holds program records for field goals made (984), three-point field goals made (410), double-figure scoring games (127) and 30-point games (13). Upon her graduation, she ranked second all-time in NCAA history in three-pointers made and was just the second player in Division I history to hit at least 400.
• She helped Michigan to the 2017 WNIT title and back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years in 2018. Flaherty was a three-time consensus All-Big Ten first teamer by both the coaches and the media, while also earning three consecutive WBCA All-Region honors and picking up honorable mention All-America laurels. Flaherty also earned 2018 All-America honorable mention by The Associated Press, becoming the first Wolverine to earn AP honorable mention. One of five finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award for the nation's top point guard in 2018, Flaherty also won the Marines 3-Point Championship following her senior year.
• Maryland leads 12-5 in the all-time series, but Michigan has won four of the last six meetings between the teams. U-M won the last contest, a 98-71 victory in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Big Ten Tournament.
• Michigan is 14-3 in Big Ten action this season, wrapping up a top-four seed for the upcoming Big Ten Tournament. Michigan's 11-1 start in conference play before falling to UCLA set a new program standard. Michigan's total of 14 Big Ten wins is the most in program history.
• Michigan has set a new program record for regular-season wins, picking up win No. 23 in an overtime victory at No. 13 Ohio State on Wednesday (Feb. 25). U-M previously won 22 games during the regular season twice, coming in 2016-17 en route to the 2017 WNIT championship and in 2021-22 before making a run to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history.
• Olivia Olson is coming off a 31-point, nine-rebound performance at No. 13 Ohio State (Feb. 25) that set a new career high in scoring. It was the second 30-point game of her career and the first this season. She converted the game-winning layup with less than three seconds remaining to seal Michigan's 88-86 overtime win.
• The No. 14 Terrapins are Michigan's 10th ranked opponent of the season. U-M is 5-4 against top-25 teams this season, falling to No. 1 UConn, No. 2 UCLA, No. 5 Vanderbilt and No. 13 Iowa. Michigan's NET SOS is No. 5.
• Michigan trailed by as many as 14 points in the first half and was down by eight points with 1:40 remaining in overtime in its last game before closing the game on a 10-0 run to record an 88-86 win at No. 13 Ohio State. Macy Brown scored eight straight points, and Olson converted a layup with less than three seconds remaining to push Michigan to victory. It was the fifth time this season that Michigan rallied from a halftime deficit to win.
• U-M will begin Big Ten Tournament play next Friday (March 6) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
