Maryland to honor Lefty Driesell with banner at Xfinity Center

During his 17 years at Maryland, Lefty Driesell used to hang banners at Cole Field House for his teams that finished the season ranked in the top 10.

Those banners are long gone, but another will go up in February at Xfinity Center with Driesell’s name on it.

According to multiple sources familiar with the decision to honor Driesell, the banner will be raised prior to the game against Ohio State on Feb. 11.

It will mark recognition for Driesell, who’ll turn 85 on Christmas Day, in a building where the court is named for Hall of Famer Gary Williams.
