President Barack Obama might consider a career in coaching or motivational speaking after he’s done with his second term.
Inspired by the words and presence of the President, Oregon State surprised Maryland 90-83 on Sunday night.
Dez Wells scored 23 for the Terrapins (1-2), whose 30-game non-conference winning streak at home ended.
”I think it was cool that (Obama) was here and it was great for our University,” Maryland coach Mark Turegon said. ”It brought out a bigger crowd. Hopefully, he was able to relax a little bit.”
Mark Turgeon Post Game
“I thought Oregon State was terrific. That’s all we talked about in the scouting report; those two kids and trying to guard those kids [Roberto Nelson and Devon Collier]. Obviously we didn’t do a very good job. Nelson kept getting to the rim and then Collier was just a beast. We had no answer for him. I know I’m going to watch the film and see we missed a lot of box outs. We weren’t very physical. The way we started the game and the second half, I think we gave Oregon State a lot of confidence. I’m just disappointed. I rely on us being good defensively. Almost all my teams can guard, and this one just isn’t doing a very good job of it. I’ve got to build depth and our guys have got to play better. With that said, Oregon State was terrific. I felt like they never missed a shot … Maybe our defense will get better if I build depth. Our big guys have got to play better defensively.”
Roddy Peters is improving with each game as tonight he had 10 points and 6 assists. It’s only a matter of time before he becomes the starting PG
Turgeon must get better inside play from his bigs or this will be a long season
Jake finished with 15 points and 7 rebounds
Next up for the Terps Marist Friday at 4PM from Puerto Rico
