Some observations of another devastating loss:
Turgeon was distraught in the press conference. He questioned just how unlucky the Terps could me.
18 turnovers and only 7 assisdt—will never result in victory
Minus his 5 turnovers , Seth had a strong game 6-11 from the field all treys.
Once again Dez has a troublesome 1sr half and a strong 2nd half
Boomer, Torrey Smith, SVP, and Gary Williams sere all in the house today
Terps fall to 15-13 overall and 7-8 in the conference
What’s not shown in the post game game comments from Coach Boeheim was his complaint when told that Coach Turgeon thought Nick was fouled in the pivotal play of game. After complaining that Maryland had 5 phantom calls while driving to the hoop, he finished by saying maybe if Maryland didn’t have 18 turnovers , the no call wouldn’t have mattered.
Turgeon Post Game
“First of all I’d like to thank our crowd. They stuck with it. I thought they were tremendous down the stretch and gave us a chance to win the game because the energy in the building was great. We just weren’t very good against the zone to be honest with you. I’ll take the blame. I don’t know why, I felt great about our game plan. I’ve seen it work against them, but we just turned it over too much. 18 turnovers led to 26 points. With that said, our defense in the second half was much better. We played much smarter. We realized who the scorers were. [Trevor] Cooney missed some shots for us, but we were smarter defensively and rebounded pretty well in the second half. We were right there. I thought Nick [Faust] got fouled, and the replay showed that, but it’s been that type of year for us. They didn’t call it and they won the game.”
Boeheim post game
“How many have we played in the league? 15. All 15. We had one that wasn’t close. We were down against Miami both times. We were behind against Pittsburgh late. This was the game we were most ahead of all the games except two. We were most ahead in this game. This has been the way we’ve played since the league started. We’ve been down seven or eight times in the last 8-10 minutes. We were actually ahead tonight, which we weren’t used to and made a couple mistakes.”
