One by one, the Maryland starters went over to the school’s special guest sitting at courtside. One by one, the Terps paid homage to Lefty Driesell, who had come Saturday to see a banner hung in his honor at a sold-out Xfinity Center.
Then the Maryland men's basketball team did something Driesell’s teams did 348 times during his 17-year career with the Terps, something Mark Turgeon’s 21st-ranked team didn’t do in its last two games. Avoiding the first three-game losing streak since Turgeon’s first season, Maryland beat undermanned Ohio State, 86-77.
