Maryland Coach Mark Turgeon and his players found closure on Wednesday morning when they returned to Xfinity Center, which just hours earlier had been the electrifying site of a 75-71 win over Georgetown. Maryland players will eventually look back on the win and view it as an indelible moment in their careers in College Park, but the ruthless churn of the college basketball schedule would only allow them to look ahead after it was over.
By Sunday, Maryland will travel to Mexico for the Cancun Classic, which Turgeon views as a vital chemistry-building trip. The week began with one momentous victory and will end with another significant checkpoint in this young season, but wedged between is Friday night’s home game against Rider.
