Challenging schedule for new Maryland basketball coach
In his first season as Maryland head basketball coach Mark Turgeon will have to play at least 16 games against teams that played in the NCAA or NIT tournaments last spring. And, unless he makes some additions, will have to do it with just eight scholarship players.
In its schedule, released by the ACC, Maryland will host Illinois in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, face Notre Dame in the BB&T Classic, and Temple at the legendary Palestra in Philadelphia, in addition to a pair of games each against ACC rivals Duke and North Carolina, with the Terps playing both teams at home first.
