Maryland has never faced a schedule quite like this season’s, which will force Terrapins Coach Mark Turgeon to figure out his rotation much quicker than normal this month. He began the night with a mammoth starting five, giving freshman power forward Bruno Fernando his first start alongside center Michal Cekovsky. Thing is, if you only have four or five good players and they’re not playing well, you got trouble,” Turgeon said. Those three were playing together deep into the second half, when Turgeon paired them with Fernando and Duke graduate transfer center Sean Obi. “It’s a good start,” Turgeon said, “but we’ll get tested this week to see how good we really are.”
