There’s nothing to say. Maryland was simply outplayed by BU today. The Terps had no answer for BU’s guard play, committed 17 turnovers, 83 points to BU at home–really ?, trailed the last 7 minutes of the game, clearly outworked–etc. I don’t know what to say. Turgeon is as hard working a coach that I have ever seen. Even after yesterday’s horrendous defeat, he was out on the recruiting trail last night. But the message, is just not getting across to his players. He said “We’re trying. I’m trying to figure it out and hopefully I can over the break” Remember you are never as bad as you look when you are losing. Things have to turn around quickly as Maryland is now at 7-5.
Mark Turgeon Post Game Opening Statement:
“I thought BU was terrific. Their guard play was out of this world. Hankerson came in and he was more of a driver than a shooter, but came in and made every big shot, rebounded well too. I thought BU was terrific. I thought their game plan defensively was terrific. They guarded the right people and I just thought they were terrific. With that said, we didn’t start the game very well. We didn’t finish the half very well, and we played with energy to start the second half and got it tied, and we didn’t play particularly smart after that. We just got to keep trying to get the guys to play a little better. Their bench was good and was deeper than we were today. When the game was on the line and it’s 58-all, we just didn’t do what we had to do to win the game….The guys can get home and start fresh when we come back on the 26th.”
On the game:
We are a little inconsistent. We go and lose at home and then play pretty well in the Paradise Jam and then lose a couple. I don’t know. That’s the perplexing thing. We can’t score 77 at home and lose, so maybe it’s on the defensive end…We are going to try to figure it out. Maybe we are feeling too much pressure and just need to relax. We need to relax and have more fun, maybe we can play better that way.
On opposing team’s successful guard play against the Terps:
“They shot 36 free-throws to our 26 at home. We’re fouling too much. We gave them some easy looks. We had a bad match-up one time and he hits a three…”We’re trying. I’m trying to figure it out and hopefully I can over the break.”
