ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland basketball’s 78-57 win over Navy on Friday night was the culmination of two days that went far beyond basketball.
The fifth annual Veterans Classic included a doubleheader Friday night, with Wichita State beating Providence before the Terps’ victory in the nightcap. But the three visiting teams all took a tour of Navy’s campus Thursday morning and spent the bulk of two days soaking in the unique environment in Annapolis.
“I thought my guys worked hard until I started hanging around these students here and what they do to want to serve and be selfless,” Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon said after the game.
