COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Coming off a 27-win season and its first trip to the Sweet 16 since 2003, Maryland fields a team with one returning starter and six freshmen.Its been a different kind of October for coach Mark Turgeon, who last year fielded a veteran-laden team ranked No. 3 in the preseason Top 25 poll.Because it was the first time in a while we had been ranked so high, it was a lot on the guys, Turgeon acknowledged Tuesday.And this team?Theyve got a chip on their shoulder, Turgeon said. Theyre hungry.Diamond Stone, Jake Layman, Robert Carter and Rasheed Sulaimon -- four of the teams top five scorers in 2015-16 -- are gone.Melo Trimble returns as a junior after opting to withdraw his name from the NBA draft. The 6-foot-3 guard hopes to improve on an inconsistent season in which he shot 41 percent and ended the season with a 5-for-16 dud against Kansas.He rarely played fewer than 35 minutes a game, and his body wore down in late February and March.I learned last year youve got to take care of your body, Trimble said. Thats what Im going to do this year.Trimble will be surrounded by a young cast. Center Damonte Dodd and forward L.C. Gill, a transfer from Duquesne, are the lone seniors on the roster.I have a lot of new players, a lot of good pieces, Turgeon said. Last year I had a veteran team. When you get into coaching, you like being around guys and teaching them and making them better.---Some other things to know about Marylands upcoming mens basketball season:HIS TEAM: As a freshman, Trimble stood behind Dez Wells when it came to taking the final shot. Last season, Trimble was asked to blend into a talent-laden squad. Now, he stands alone as the Terps main man. He knows its his team in a lot of ways, Turgeon said. Hes not worried about stepping on anybodys toes, maybe like he has in the last couple years. So it should be a great year for Melo.WILEY RETURNS: After missing the entire 2015-16 season with a torn right meniscus, guard Dion Wiley is poised to make up for lost time in the backcourt. As a freshman, the 6-foot-4 guard played in all 35 games as a backup. Its taken a year, but now hes ready to build upon that season. Hes one of our better passers and better players in ball screens, Turgeon said. That says a lot when you have Melo on your team.SOMETHING TO PROVE: Freshman guard Anthony Cowan is listed at 6 feet, which might be a stretch. What he lacks in height, he makes up for in desire. Hes quick to the rim, but is focused now on playing well on the other end of the court. Coach Turgeon told me he wanted me to be a hound on defense, so thats what Im working on, Cowan said.LEAGUE OF ITS OWN: Turgeon started his tenure at Maryland when the Terrapins were part of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Now theyre in the Big Ten, but its all the same to him. It was really about making Maryland basketball great, no matter what league youre in, and getting players that fit your style of coaching, Turgeon said. I wasnt so worried about the ACC or the Big Ten. I was just trying to make my team the best team I could possibly make it.CEK-MATE: Junior forward Michal Cekovsky is quickly getting used to college basketball and life in in the U.S. A native of Slovakia, the 7-1 Cekovsky (pronounced Check-ov-skee) got one start last season but should see more playing time in the middle. Being with the guys every day and practicing with real good players has been good for my game, he said. Managers, coaches, teammates and friends have been helping me over the past three years.---More AP College Basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org Christian Pulisic Jersey . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.

MILWAUKEE -- If opposing teams need a game-winning basket, stay away from Draymond Green Island. He wont take too kindly to your scoring attempts in his vicinity.Definitely, Green said. I think thats disrespectful to me. I take that as disrespect. Dont go at me for game. And of course Ill say that, and next game [theyll] get game or something, but whatever.Greens bold but not surprising comments were made after the Golden State Warriors 124-121 narrow road victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday.The Bucks clawed back from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to come within two with 10.1 seconds remaining. It was Milwaukees ball on the sideline, and?Tony Snell was the inbounder. He lobbed the ball to Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was being guarded by Green.Green reached over Antetokounmpo without fouling and slapped the ball away. Klay Thompson recovered the ball and was fouled immediately. He was sent to the free throw line, where he converted the pair to give the Warriors a four-point lead with eight seconds to go. That was all the cushion needed to wrap up the teams seventh consecutive win.Green felt disrespected that the Bucks would target him by going to the player he was guarrding, so he made sure to make them pay with a game-saving defensive play.ddddddddddddI already knew what play they were running, Green said. They have two plays that they run in situations like that. Once Giannis was down on the block, I already knew what they were running, so I was just waiting on them to pass the ball in. I wanted to make it tough and make Tony Snell think about it. I knew once he thought about it that he would throw the lob pass. Then I just went after the ball.Green and Antetokounmpo were really going at it while fighting for position on that last inbounds play. Considering Greens reputation with the officials, he could have been close to being called for an over-the-back foul.Nah, because I was on the side of him, Green said. If they were going to call it, there really isnt nothing I can do about it. Its one thing if were down one. Im going after that ball if were up two because No. 1, he got to make two free throws, and we get the last shot. So, yeah, youre going to have to make those two free throws. Im going after that ball.
