Turgeon tweets disappointment regarding lack of Terps on Big Ten freshman team

Maryland men’s basketball coach Mark Turgeon does not spend much time on Twitter, and typically posts fairly benign tweets congratulating his players -- as he did when Melo Trimble was named all-Big Ten Monday -- or consoling them -- as he did when Michal Cekovsky suffered a season-ending injury.

On Tuesday, Turgeon couldn’t hide his disappointment that none of his freshmen were named to the Big Ten’s all-freshman team.

It’s not totally surprising that forward Justin Jackson, guard Anthony Cowan and wing Kevin Huerter weren't named among the top five freshmen in a league filled with talented first-year players, led by freshman of the year Miles Bridges of Michigan State.
