Drexel Game Thread (Last of the Season?)

Is this the way the season ends? Not with a bang (like the ACCT run), but a whimper (an injured, mentally and physically exhausted Pack squad playing out the string in front of a handful of fans)? Sadly, it seems likely, as this previous post explained. To clarify, I sure as hell hope we win, and will even make the trek to a sports bar in about an hour to watch on ESPN-Unavailable. But I won’t fault the staff or these kids in the slightest if we lose – even if we lose by 40.

Anyway, your in-game comments belong here. Let’s ride it out together!

8:12 update: I hate to say I told you so, but…

Halftime update: Really proud of the guys for hanging in and grinding it out. Drexel never met a shot they didn’t like, that’s for sure.

Damned near midnight update: Being wrong never felt so right! What incredible character. Go Marist!

    If we come out flat as hell and start getting whipped – I’d just like to see Lowe stick in Ferg, Horner, Neiman, Davis, etc. They should have plenty of motivation to play hard (and should be fresh).

    ^^^^ No doubt that is the game plan. To be completely honest; if he sees that they’re beat (injured?), I wouldn’t be surprised to see those same kids starting.

    Let’s beat these bastards(just watched the Seinfeld episode where George host the guys from the Houston Astros and they call everyone a son of a bitch or bastard)!

    I don’t want the season to end.

    What time is the game? I haven’t had time to even check a newspaper today.

    Thanks, somewhere in the back of my head, I thought 7.

    The hockey game at 7, right? I don’t have a great feeling about either outcome.

    Does anybody know what happened with Dom Meija (sp?)? Was he really an acc-type player, or was it a cam bennerman situation, where he wouldn’t have sniffed the court until his senior year? i barely remember him.

    Funny NC State UNC video on youtube. Very funny, on youtubes most viewed list. Pretty much sumed up my feelings after last weekend…

    Jaymin, go back to the SFN homepage and scroll down a couple of threads.

    Damnit, I can’t get ESPNEWE.

    I didn’t think I’d be nervous for this one, but I’m gettin’ nervous. Maybe ESPN will have some new crummy announcers for this one. I’m getting tired of the old crummy announcers.

  13. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 7:21 PM #

    I think Mejia realized he would get no playing time if it ever came down to him or Cam.

  14. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 7:22 PM #

    Thats two in a row for Drexel that we didn’t even contest

  15. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 7:25 PM #

    We look dead tired…score 10 to 1

  16. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 7:28 PM #

    Holy-moly 15-4

  17. McPete 03/13/2007 at 7:34 PM #

    I don’t blame them for being disinterested. It’s friggin’ one day off after the acc championship game. if they had a week to reflect, they may feel differently about this game. it’s all about motivation.

    but someone could tell drexel about what an nit championship (2 straight) has done for South Carolina. NOTHING!

    The fun part of this is the Drexel fans still believe that this is over.

  19. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 7:38 PM #

    We look like we are trying, we just can’t get to the ball quick enough. It doesn’t help that it looks like Drexel is playing with a purpose. I think we’ll be just fine though. Go Pack!

  20. branjawn 03/13/2007 at 7:43 PM #

    is it 20-15? just wondering how much the yahoo! box score is lagging.

  21. Woof Wolf 03/13/2007 at 7:44 PM #

    yes

  22. justaguy 03/13/2007 at 7:46 PM #

    The pack is playing at least even now. It’s settled down in to half-court possessions and state is getting the better of it, slightly. Drexel launched a 35-footer as the shot clock wound down that missed by 5 feet. Good pack D.

  23. branjawn 03/13/2007 at 7:47 PM #

    about to show hi-lites on ESPN
