Welcome to The Shell Shock Experience, a podcast from Shell Shock, the Terps alumni team in The Basketball Tournament. Each episode will feature a fan-favorite former Terp to help build excitement for Shell Shock and Maryland basketball as whole. Our 1st guest is Maryland basketball alum & '08-'09 starting center Dave Neal. These episodes will go up weekly on the Bleav in DMV Hoops podcast feed, which is available everywhere you get your podcasts. https://bleav.com/shows/bleav-in-dmv-hoops/

Maryland basketball alum ('05-'09) Dave Neal joins The Shell Shock Experience to talk about his time as Terp, playing for Gary Williams, playing with Greivis Vasquez, competing in the ACC, and working his way into the starting lineup. Dave shares his thoughts on this year's Maryland team, the job Kevin Willard has done so far, and the value to the program of having an alumni team like Shell Shock competing in the TBT. Dave also catches us up on what he's doing after basketball and suggests the next Terp we should talk to. Presented by Vision Media Solutions!
