Mark Turgeon, like Maryland predecessor Gary Williams, has Spokane ghosts to shake Sunday

Mark Turgeon has often talked in the past about what happened to future Hall of Fame coach Gary Williams and Maryland six years ago in Spokane. What has gone virtually ignored is what also happened to Turgeon and his team at Texas A&M.

It was shortly after the fourth-seeded Terps lost, 85-83, to No. 5 seed Michigan State on a last-second, 3-point shot by Korie Lucious in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

The defeat prevented the Terps from getting to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2003.
