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!

    Once we started missing FT’s and they got that first basket, the Big Mo has switched from us to them.

    Maybe we should go with the Alonzo Mourning defense on Elegar for at least a couple possessions–box and one with Atsur on him.

    Nice defensive stop after we hit both free throws

  7. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:55 PM #

    Hawthorn wide open for three and he hits…52-47 5:26

  8. Tau837 03/13/2007 at 8:55 PM #

    Wow, can’t believe the no call over Horner’s back there.

  9. Tau837 03/13/2007 at 8:56 PM #

    Down 3 with the ball, 5 minutes left.

    McCauley is fouled by Elegard…his first, McCauley hits 1 of 2…barely hit the rim on that one

  11. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:57 PM #

    52-50 3:57 Drexel

  12. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 8:58 PM #

    Thats the way to do it…we triple team Elegard and knock him to the floor…foul on McCauley. Don’t give him nothing easy. Timeout

  13. justaguy 03/13/2007 at 8:58 PM #

    Ben is doing some heavy lifting now to keep us close.

    Hahn is making it sound like McCauley has absolutely nothing left, does it look that way on tv?

  15. Woof Wolf 03/13/2007 at 8:59 PM #

    I still think we are going to do this.

  16. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 9:00 PM #

    McCauley is sucking wind…but Costner was the one that looked blown. He has been on the bench for quite a while now. Actually, Drexel started their run when he hit the bench.

  17. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 9:01 PM #

    Drexel out of the timeout…Elegard fouled by Costner. Elegard his missed one shot all night.

  18. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 9:02 PM #

    He missed both, but out of bounds off Costner

  19. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 9:03 PM #

    Another foul by Costner on Elegard.

  20. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 9:03 PM #

    We are only 5-11 from the free throw line…so are they now that Elegard missed the first one…Atsur with the layup!!! tied

  21. Jeremy Hyatt 03/13/2007 at 9:03 PM #

    score?!

  22. justaguy 03/13/2007 at 9:04 PM #

    It’s crunch time. We need to take control.

  23. Jeremy Hyatt 03/13/2007 at 9:04 PM #

    time?

  24. 1.21 Jigawatts 03/13/2007 at 9:04 PM #

  25. Red_Terrors 03/13/2007 at 9:04 PM #
