Big Ten Network Analyst Drew Nicholas On The Terrapins And The NCAA Tournament

Drew Nicholas is a former Maryland Terrapins basketball player, and is currently an analyst for the Big Ten Network.

Drew joined Ed and Steve to talk about the Terrapins as a 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Drew started off by talking about the Terps being a 5 seed in the tournament and if they were seeded properly saying "I thought a 5 seed was right where they should be." As for any glaring oversights by the selection committee Drew said "I think Monmouth a little bit, when you look at their body of work and winning on the road...Monmouth was excellent and who wouldn't have like to see the Monmouth bench on the one shining moment."

As for the Maryland game against Michigan State in the Big Ten Tournament and how things could've gone differently Drew said "you've got to find a way to get easy points...if you sit there and play a defensive game you're playing right into their hands."

Drew also talked about the Terps side of the bracket and the tough tests they will face along the way should they survive and advance.
