1/13/2004

The best thing about college basketball has got to be the rivalries, think about some of the great ones: Duke vs. UNC, Kentucky vs. Louisville, Indiana vs. Purdue, even Penn vs. Princeton. It seems that every school has their hated “rival” – even my high school had Marian Catholic just a couple of miles away. When you play these teams even the students who could care less about sports still come out to watch, it gives you a sense of pride to beat your rival, not to mention bragging rights.

Bring on the Quakers

11/17/03

On Monday night, the 24th, the Dragons will take a short walk down 33rd Street to the storied Palestra and take on the University of Pennsylvania Quakers. Last season the Dragons handily defeated a UPenn team that would eventually go undefeated in the less than stellar Ivy League before being taken out in the first round of the NCAA tournament by Oklahoma State. That Penn team had me worried, they were a solid group with some real threats, Ugonna Onyekwe was a potential NBA draft pick, Koko Archibong played the perfect second-fiddle to Onyekwe and Andy Toole was an outstanding point guard. All three earned All-Ivy League honors last season.

Introducing the Freshmen

11/15/03

The Class of 2007 looks to build upon what the Class of 2003 left behind, including an NIT appearance. Last year’s senior class consisted of three players, two of whom were all league performers. That leaves some big shoes to fill. Hopefully this year’s freshmen can at least partly fill those shoes. The Class of 2007 includes center/forward Chaz Crawford (6-9 200lbs from Philadelphia, PA), forward Matt Stevenson (6-7 200lbs from Towson, MD), guard Bashir Mason (6-0 180lbs from Jersey City, NJ), guard Maurice Madden (6-0 180lbs from North Hills, PA) and guard Jake Rauchbach (5-11 165 lbs from Chapel Hill, NC).

Freshmen Better Have Big Feet
The Drexel men’s basketball team does not have a whole lot of question marks coming into this season. After all, they return nearly all of their players from a team that came within a 5 minute mental lapse of making it to the big dance last season. The Dragons return three starters and nearly everyone else from that team. So do they have a lot of question marks? No, in fact the Dragons have just two questions marks, although they’re more like ?!?!?!?!.
