COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Maryland Terrapins concluded their three-week long preseason camp with a two-hour workout session Saturday afternoon under hot and humid conditions.
With the season opener against Villanova only a week away, the Terps continued to install the game plan for the Wildcats.
After practice coach Ralph Friedgen praised the Maryland players for a good effort on their last day of camp, and congratulated them on a solid three weeks of work.
The Terps are scheduled to have Sunday off to rest up and heal, and will begin their normal game week preparations with a 4:00 p.m. practice Monday.
All practices are closed to the public, while credentialed members of the media may attend the first five periods (approximately 30 minutes) of each workout.
