Postgame Quotes - Maryland vs. Alabama

Nov. 17, 2011

Recap |  Box Score

Maryland Coach Mark Turgeon

"I thought Alabama was really good the first half, we missed a lot of wide-open shots that we normally make, I was proud of our overall effort. I think we are way too selfish to be good offensively.

"We had a lot of guys not running the defense and that ticked me off, but you got to keep teaching, that's all you can do. When you have a team of guys who aren't used to playing and are learning, it's hard."

Do you think trouble in practice was a factor?
"We can't practice at this level and get it together. Hopefully, we'll be better tomorrow. Our transition defense was much better today, our rebounding wasn't that great, but we tried hard."

What are you going to do for upcoming games?
"Try and get ready for tomorrow and hopefully guys will buy in. If we play the way we're capable, (tonight) it's a six-point game."
