Wisconsin Coach Bo Ryan Interrupts Opposing Coach's Postgame Presser After Upset Loss (VIDEO)

By

After his Wisconsin Badgers lost on the road in an upset to the Maryland Terrapins, coach Bo Ryan was in a hurry to address the media and get out.

Thanks to video provided by CSNBaltimore.com, we can see Ryan awkwardly interrupting Maryland coach Mark Turgeon's postgame address. Ryan said his team had a "flight to catch" and indicated his turn to speak was skipped.

"We have a flight to catch, they were supposed to get me, and I was waiting, and they didn't get me," Ryan said as he approached the podium.

Turgeon, who was in the middle of praising his senior guard Dez Wells on an outstanding performance, gracefully gave up the mic with a smooth, "It's all you man."

But later that night, Wisconsin's team plane was forced into an emergency landing, ESPN reported. The plane landed safe and sound in Pittsburgh, with the Badgers' players and team personnel staying at area hotels.

"Everyone is safe and doing fine," a Wisconsin spokesperson told ESPN's Andy Katz.

 Ranked fifth overall, Wisconsin had not lost since Jan. 11 against Rutgers and it was just their third loss overall. With a restrictive defense and a standout performance from Wells, Maryland pulled off one of the more exciting upsets of the college basketball season, winning 59-53. Wells had 26 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

"We've been in so many close games, we'd have just kept doing what we do," Turgeon said in his postgame presser. "Our guys were really determined tonight, starting with Dez Wells.

"He was not going to let us lose."
