The Sports Drive: Brad Nelson Previews District Play + NMU Falls To Tech in WCHA Playoffs

Marquette, MIMarch 9, 2020 – The Marquette Redmen boys basketball team begins their march toward a second consecutive district championship when they host Petoskey tonight. The Redmen beat the Northmen 60-57 back in December, but both teams have played 18 games since. Redmen coach Brad Nelson joined the Sports Drive to preview the game.

The Northern Michigan Wildcats hockey team had a disappointing end to their season with a 4-3 3OT loss at the hands of their rival, Michigan Tech. Tech got the series sweep, so how should we view the Wildcats’ season as a whole? Luke and Tyler discuss.
