Here's an assortment of quotes from coach Mark Turgeon at Maryland men's basketball media day:
Opening statement
Obviously, we’re extremely excited about this year. I really like the team we’ve put together. I really like my guys. I like working with my guys. Obviously, they’re a very competitive group. When we put the score up there and the time, they really get after it. So as a coach, you feel good about that. Really since all the expectations started coming in April, our guys have worked really hard. We had a great spring, we had a great summer, we’ve had a great fall, and the first 12 days of practice have really been good for us.
