Former Maryland women’s basketball standout Chloe Bibby is now a key figure for Australia in the 2026 FIBA World Cup, where the Opals have opened their Group C campaign with two straight victories.
Bibby’s collegiate résumé includes a transfer from Mississippi State to the University of Maryland, where over two seasons she posted an average of 12.5 assists per game and was honored with a spot on the All‑Big Ten Second Team in 2022.
Since making her international debut, Bibby has contributed to Australia’s early success, helping the team sit atop Group C alongside Belgium after winning both of its opening matches.
From College to Global Stage
The move from the Big Ten to the global arena marks a significant milestone in Bibby’s career, illustrating how collegiate excellence can translate into international competition.
While Maryland’s other athletic programs have enjoyed recent triumphs, the focus on Bibby highlights a narrative of talent crossing borders, as a former Terps player now competes on the world stage.
