Maryland basketball coach Mark Turgeon is not apologizing for the schedule that has helped produce the program's longest winning streak in more than a decade. Nor is Turgeon worried about whether Maryland is ready for its ACC opener Saturday against Virginia Tech.

Maryland will take a 12-game winning streak into Saturday¿s ACC opener against Virginia Tech at Comcast Center. The Terps, who have not lost since a three-point defeat to then-No. 3 Kentucky in the seaon opener in Brooklyn, N.Y., are a confident bunch.

Mark Turgeon said Monday that he is considering tweaking his lineup for Tuesday's game against IUPUI at Comcast Center as the Terps get ready for Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference opener against Virginia Tech at home.

Weak pre-ACC schedule and typically inconsistent freshmen make it hard for coach Mark Turgeon to guage the progress of his Maryland Terps.

It's a period in which it can be difficult to focus on the game, Turgeon said as the Terps (9-1), who have won nine games in a row — their longest streak since 2001-02 — prepared for Friday night's game against Stony Brook (8-2).
