Hoop Dreams!

It's relatively common knowledge that I love the sport of Basketball about as much as I loved the fact that my car got flipped over/towed away when the Philles won the World Series (that's another sport I love..).  Don't let the sarcastic intro fool you, I definitely watched our tallest Drexel Dragon squad take out #21Louisville on ESPN3.com, and was absolutely excited to see our boys snatch the win!  Drexel slipped ahead towards the end of the game after a few lead changes earlier in the second half, holding on for a 52-46 upset over the #21 ranked Cardinals.  Nearly every crucial player on the Drexel squad came close to fouling out, with only my namesake Dartaye RUFFin being forced to take a seat.  Head Coach Bruiser Flint gave credit to Gerald Colds for a calm senior performance as Drexel's point leader on the night, and my boy Yannick Formbor for some solid minutes in the paint.

That's as far as I go with commentary.  I've worn out my thesaurus choosing words that won't get me yelled at for bring up memories of bad pre-season press releases... and I don't think I can talk Basketball for much longer before I say something that makes me sound as dumb as anyone on SportsCenter trying to recap a premiership match... Hell of a win for the boys in blue & gold.  As our friendly neighborhood crack addict used to yell down to us from the projects out at Vidas Field - "Hey Drexel! Good game last night! Keep that SHIT up!"

Drexeldragons.com is good, but it looks like The Ineligibles beat them to the story yet again...  Look for a fuller official recap to be posted sometime tomorrow.

Check out both Drexel's & Louisville's pre-game previews for a bit more intelligent background on the game.
