Sunday’s matchup between Maryland men’s basketball and Northwestern marked the first game following the announcement that Mark Turgeon and the program parted ways on Friday.
After the Terps’ 67-61 loss to the Wildcats in their first conference matchup of the season, interim head coach Danny Manning, senior guard Eric Ayala and junior guard Hakim Hart addressed the media and broke down what had happened over the last few days, how the emotion has settled in and what comes next.
However, the first person to address the media publicly before Manning was Northwestern men’s basketball head coach Chris Collins.
