But patience and faith in the man who was hired to pull the program out of mediocrity is finally paying dividends. When Mark Turgeon was hired by Maryland to replace the retiring Gary Williams in May of 2011, many were hopeful that the Texas A&M coach, who had successfully turned numerous program around in previous coaching stops, would bring Maryland basketball back among the college basketball elite.

È il 10 giugno 1989: finisce 0-0. Tra le Black Starlets, le stelline nere, gioca uno scricciolo col numero 8 che nessuno riesce a tenere. In distinta figura come Nii Odartey Lamptey. Ufficialmente ha quattordici anni, il che in Africa, e in tempi di test ossei FIFA ancora inimmaginabili, non significa che li avesse davvero. Nel Gruppo A il Ghana del CT brasiliano Paulo Luis Campus cade 1-0 col Bahrain e impatta 2-2 con Cuba, uscendo così da t...
