What a great night it will be at College Park as the former Champions help kick off Mark Turgeon’s Maryland career.
I was sitting with Nathan Pine, Kevin Anderson’s Deputy Director of Athletics, and was told of the change in plans to move the naming of the floor at Comcast from Dec 9 to a National TV spot of January 25 just prior to the Duke Terrapin game. What a night that will be, Turgeon’s first game at home against the Blue Devils and honoring the legend he followed. Mark it on your calendars!!!
