Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4252704, member: 1559"] Maryland is a step up with much greater resources. Before this year, Maryland has not had a losing season since the 1992/1993 season. In the past 29 years, they have been to the NCAA 19 (should be 20, but COVID) times and they have played in the Sweet 16 8 times, Final 4 twice, and they have won a Championship. Mark Turgeon did a great job at Maryland. His winning % was 0.661 vs. Maryland's all-time winning % of 0.596 and Gary Williams at 0.647. Since joining the Big 10, he made the NCAA Tournament 6 out of 8 years (including the COVID year). I guess his 5-5 record in the NCAA Tournament wasn't enough. It seems the expectations are really high at Maryland and the fan base is frustrated that they lost all of their traditional rivals Duke, UNC, and Virginia, when they left the ACC. This will not be an easy job for Willard. [/QUOTE]
