Maryland's Turgeon takes on mentor, No. 5 UNC

Posted Feb 3, 2012
Mark Turgeon would rather meet mentor Roy Williams at a restaurant than on the basketball court. Turgeon was an assistant to Williams at Kansas for four seasons, from 1988-92. Now in charge of rebuilding the program at Maryland, Turgeon will go up against Williams for the first time Saturday when the Terrapins (13-8, 3-4 ACC) host No. 5 North Carolina (19-3, 6-1).
