Only a couple pieces of newsworthy information to report from Saturday afternoon’s media availability with Gary Williams.
Williams said he expects guard Sean Mosley to be in the starting lineup tomorrow night against N.C. State after the freshman twisted his ankle early in the second half Wednesday against Duke.
Williams said Mosley, who did return to the game Wednesday after the injury, played about half of practice Friday and should participate in full practice today. He also said it was the other ankle than the one Mosley injured more seriously at the beginning of the season.
After the standard questions about the Terps sustaining the momentum from their strong performances earlier this week and about N.C. State, the highlight of the press conference came toward the end when a reporter asked Gary a question about Dave Neal.
Williams used the occasion to take another jab at those who have criticized his recruiting.
The question was “It seems like [Neal] has probably maximized about what he has. How fulfulling is that?”
“It’s interesting,” Williams said. “You know I agree with that, but at the same time I would’ve liked to have seen Dave play full-time his first three years. I think he’s a very good basketball player. He was All-Met. I think that’s the only All-Met guy we’ve gotten in 20 years.”
That of course isn’t true, and it was a nice dose of snark from the embattled coach.
Look for more coverage from Raleigh tomorrow night.
