NEW YORK —- Maryland Coach Mark Turgeon and point guard Anthony Cowan Jr. sat with their backs to each other at separate tables during Big Ten media day inside Madison Square Garden, their voices overlapping for nearly an hour Thursday morning.
“Most of my questions today are about Melo,” Turgeon said at one point. “How will we replace Melo?”
Cowan was just an earshot away and could relate, because most of the questions sent his way were also about Melo Trimble, the former Maryland guard who turned pro last spring after serving for three seasons as the face of a basketball renaissance in College Park.
