All the latest University of Maryland athletics news, notes and insight from Post reporter Alex Prewitt.

The scouting report of Oregon State contained just two players, and that duo quickly sucked the energy from the building. Many Terrapins insisted they didn’t even notice Obama. As it turned out, they appeared not to notice senior guard Roberto Nelson (31 points) or forward Devon Collier (29 points, 11 rebounds) either.
“We really didn’t defend well at all,” forward Evan Smotrycz said. “We just didn’t do our job. We didn’t show long enough on ball screens, get help-side, box out, everything. We didn’t do it well.”
Turgeon, in his third season in College Park, prides himself on coaching teams with stingy defense and fly-trap rebounding. But possession after possession, the Beavers (2-1) found easy buckets inside, shooting nearly 60 percent for the game while attempting just eight three-pointers. Maryland (1-2) actually won the rebounding battle, grabbing 23 on the offensive end alone, though Oregon State’s high-percentage offense ripped opportunities away from the Terps on the defensive glass.
“I just can’t get our guys to box out,” Turgeon said. “We’re doing some things in practice. I’m never done trying to figure it out.”
Three games into the season, days away from flying to the U.S. Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam tournament, the Terps have already grown into a frustrated group. They missed nine free throws and committed 15 turnovers, off which the Beavers scored 29 points. Despite five players reaching double figures, including a team-high 23 points from Dez Wells, 16 from Smotrycz and 15 from Jake Layman, the rest of the group contributed just nine.
Wells, who four days earlier was benched against Abilene Christian for a “miscommunication” with Turgeon, reassumed his role as Maryland’s spark plug, attacking the rim and making all eight free throw attempts. Afterward, though, Wells accepted the blame for the loss.
“It’s just my leadership,” he said. “I take full responsibility for not having my guys ready. I’m only as good as they are. I wasn’t too good tonight for getting them ready for each half. I take responsibility for that. It’s not on us; it’s on me. I’ll get better at that.”
Neither team led by more than six points during the first half, when the lead changed nine times and the game was tied on 13 occasions, including 38-38 at intermission. Freshman point guard Roddy Peters (Suitland) played well, knifing through Oregon State’s zone defense for 10 points and six assists, but the Beavers opened the second half with an 8-0 run, aided by sloppy Terps passing and slow defensive rotations. Soon the home team was behind by a dozen points.
Despite foul trouble hampering Smotrycz, Wells and forward Charles Mitchell (10 points, eight rebounds), Maryland came within three points late in the second half. Each time, though, Oregon State marched back down the court and turned to Collier or Nelson, who provided the game’s biggest bucket by making a step-back jumper with the shot clock winding down that clinched the game.
“Until we’re committed to being a good defensive team, we’re going to have results like this,” Turgeon said.

Mark Turgeon rubbed his face with both hands, staring down at the box score. The Maryland men’s basketball team’s rebounding was abysmal in a 90-83 loss to Oregon State, the defense porous. Turgeon promised to revisit the defeat in the film room. “There were so many mistakes happening,” he said. “I can’t even keep up.”
The atmosphere felt nothing like a mid-November nonconference game, but that’s what happens when the commander in chief shows up. A crowd uncharacteristically large for this time of year against this caliber of opponent was enticed into Comcast Center by the prospect of seeing President Obama, and most rose to their feet and cheered when he and the first family strode to their seats behind the Beavers’ bench.

Tour du Rwanda to cost Rwf372 million

Aimable Bayingana.

This year’s Tour du Rwanda cycling race which starts tomorrow will cost an estimated Rwf372 million, the organisers, Rwanda Cycling Federation has confirmed.

The federation chairman, Aimable Bayingana, while addressing a press conference on Thursday, said the eight-day competition promises to be better than previous editions.

“We have a good budget to work with, and we hope with more money injected, even the standards will improve,” he said. “The good thing is that we have got sponsors, so we expect everything to be fine.”

A total of 15 teams will compete for the top prize. Rwanda will be represented by Team Akagera, Team Kalisimbi and Team Muhabura with each fielding five riders.

Some of the foreign teams  already in the country to take part in this year’s Tour du Rwanda include; As Be Co of Eritrea, Avia Crabbe (Belgium), Team Haute Savoie (France) and South Africa’s MTN Qhubeka, which features homeboy Adrien Niyonshuti.

Others are; UCI Continental Centre (South Africa), Ethiopia, Egypt, Kenya, Algeria, Gabon, while Tanzania are expected in to arrive today.

Team USA Novo Nordisk, which used to participate as Team Type 1, were the first to arrive for the continental race on Wednesday.  The tour will cover 876 kilometres divided in eight stages.

Nshimiyimana cautious ahead of Cranes test

International match
Today
Uganda   vs  Rwanda     3pm

Amavubi players will have to be at the top of their game to beat Uganda Cranes in an international friendly match today at the Mandela national stadium in Kampala, Uganda,  Amavubi Stars coach Eric Nshimiyimana has cautioned.

“We shall need a collective effort from all the players because Uganda Cranes is a very good team with more experienced players who  have also played together for some time,” Nshimiyimana told Saturday Sport before the team’s departure. The team left for Kampala yesterday ahead of today’s clash. It is a return of the earlier friendly played in Kigali in February that ended in a 2-2 draw.

“It’s a friendly but believe me,  each  team will be out to try and win.  I think it is going to be an interesting match between two teams that love to outdo each other,” Nshimiyimana added.  

The former Amavubi midfielder, who was part of the team that beat Uganda 1-0 (thanks to Jimmy Gatete’s sole strike) in the infamous 2004 Nations Cup qualifier, said he would have a good idea of his starting team after the last training session which was still going on by press time yesterday.  “We know, we are going to play with a good Ugandan side that has an excellent home record in Namboole, but we have to try to score goals and defend well too,” admitted the Amavubi coach.

Nshiyimana will be up against his former boss, Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic-the Uganda Cranes coach, who was sacked by the Rwandan FA in April this year following a poor run of results. Both teams are using the match as part of their preparations for the Cecafa Challenge Cup.

Nshimiyimana said the game will help the Amavubi players to build their fitness and mental strength ahead of the Cecafa tournament,” he noted.

“We are a team and we know that we have to work together if we want to achieve our objective to do well in the CECAFA and other competitions,” he explained.
