COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – A basketball program with an uncertain future celebrated its illustrious past at Maryland Madness.
Several members of the 2002 national championship team, along with former head coach Gary Williams, were on hand Friday night to mark the 40th anniversary of the first Midnight Madness. Steve Blake, Byron Mouton, Chris Wilcox and Mike Grinnon, along with current NBA star Greivis Vasquez and former NBA standout Steve Francis, participated in a star-studded alumni game.
The alumni game generated far more interest than a short scrimmage that served as an introduction to coach Mark Turgeon’s first team at the school, an undersized and inexperienced squad that will almost certainly struggle in the Atlantic Coast Conference this season.
