Drexel Game Thread (Last of the Season?)

06-07 Basketball General NCS Basketball286

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!

    I really thought Fells would break out in a big way THIS year…. oh well. I guess you cant be too greedy. good to see his game coming together!!!!! I always hear great comments(mostly from UNC fans for a suprise) about his dunks and athleticism.

    one Tarhole fan at work said his dunk on Wright in the championship game should be on a poster somewhere. I agree!!!

    4 2nd half fouls for State

    Yeah, I could hear the Wolfpack faithful (lots are Costner’s family) yelling airball earlier

    Drexel’s Crawford is the only player with 3 fouls, I think.

    The one thing I think Fells could improve on is his ability to create his own shot. He seems to mostly score on jumpers, cuts to the basket, and transition, not really on any drives to the basket. If he could create his own shot, particularly if he could beat his man off the dribble, he could be dominant.

    Boy they are calling the hand checking fouls against Drexel

    6 2nd half fouls on Drexel

  8. Tau837 03/13/2007 at 8:42 PM #

    By the way, Fells has also done a very nice job lately of bringing the ball up under pressure. I don’t recall any turnovers.

    “Boy they are calling the hand checking fouls against Drexel”

    Can we lobby the ACC to hire them?? That alone might give us another 2 conference wins a year!

    We’re in the bonus with 11 minutes left. Wow. Hope we’re hitting today.

    Grant to the foul line. Rogers with his 3rd. Misses both…short on them…fatigue.

  12. justaguy 03/13/2007 at 8:44 PM #

    The refs can’t figure out which hand is attached to which body. My Tivo replay shows they blew the call.

  13. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/13/2007 at 8:45 PM #

    What’s up with the refs all of a sudden??

  14. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:45 PM #

    Mejia for 3…and a steal…and they are up by 1

  15. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:46 PM #

    Whew…Crawford with the hold…thats 4 on him

  16. CaptainCraptacular 03/13/2007 at 8:46 PM #

    *Can we lobby the ACC to hire them??*

    The wolfpack radio network said they were all ACC refs. Ironic, isn’t it.

  17. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:46 PM #

    And we miss the front end of a 1 and 1

  18. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:47 PM #

    Grant coast to coast with the steal and the score…nice move too!

    “The wolfpack radio network said they were all ACC refs. Ironic, isn’t it.”

    Well that explains everything about the calls (except the hand checking)

  20. justaguy 03/13/2007 at 8:47 PM #

    Crawford gets his 4th foul. The refs all of sudden started calling this thing real close. THEY must be fatigued and need to slow it down. Pack missed to 1-1.

  21. branjawn 03/13/2007 at 8:48 PM #

    CaptCrap, you’re kidding right? Are they restricted from calling all Duke and UNX games? When we play them it looks like their 1s and 2s are trying to play ‘slaps’ with us.

  22. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:48 PM #

    Elegar spins on Costner…for the easy 2…44-43 Drexel.

  23. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:49 PM #

    We needed that timeout…Costner looked exhausted.

  24. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:50 PM #

    Dang…Elegar again with that hook…he is way too big. His hook is coming down to the basket from his hand. Grant for two on our end 46 – 45 Drexel

  25. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:50 PM #

    Hawthorne for 3…49 -45 Drexel

1 … 3 4 5 6 7 … 12
