On Wednesday, the Terrapins announced that Driesell will be honored with a banner being raised to the rafters of the Xfinity Center. The ceremony is set to take place prior to the game against Ohio State on Feb. 11.
It’s a move that has been long overdue for the program.
When Maryland fans think of great coaches, Gary Williams is often the first that comes to mind. However, Driesell actually holds the highest winning percentage (.686) in program history.
Driesell took the Terps to the NCAA Tournament eight different times. He reached the Sweet 16 on three occasions and the Elite Eight twice.
