EVANSTON -- Following Northwestern's 72-59 defeat at the hands of No. 4 Maryland, Terrapins head coach Mark Turgeon and the Wildcats' Chris Collins and Bryant McIntosh spoke to the media:

Mark Turgeon, Maryland head coach

- Turgeon was impressed with his team's defensive play, shutting down Northwestern from the perimeter. "We were as good defensively as we've been," he said. "The things we tried to take away, we took away. They run a hundred sets."

- After a disappointing performance in a come-from-behind victory over Penn State in the Big Ten-opener, Turgeon's goal was to get his team to play with more energy early.
