Kofi is trembling
Can't take anyone for granted, even Drexel. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some jitters early on and struggle because of it. Remember, even the 04-05 group came out flat against Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round. I think we only lead by 1 at halftime.

Why is my bad memory telling me it was Northwestern State?

I really like that Illinois drew the Friday/Sunday matchups. Already took vacation days on Thursday and Friday. Would have had to schedule Monday off as well. We keep playing like we are and nobody will want to face us. I bet Okl. state fans are mad they'll have to face us...

Can't wait to begin! We don't know location yet, right?
Or Sampson for Eric Gordon

I’d say somewhere in Indiana if I was a gambling guy
#3 overall seed? Thought we were in no matter what happened today.
It is a good memory. The reason Northwestern State is stuck in your mind is that as a 14 seed they hit a fadeway three at the buzzer to beat Iowa. They will always be in the back of your mind.

We are in as a 1. I actually think Baylor has a tougher draw. Ohio St and Arkansas could definitely handle them.
Had WVU kept West Virginia Oscar Tshwediew they would have had the power. Imagine he and Kofi at each other.
Actually I just looked it up and seems they were our 16 in ‘01. It’s all gotten foggy!!

Was that the team we demolished as the #1 seed in 2001 when people were saying we didn't deserve a #1 seed?
You... haven't watched OKSt? Get a touchy game where our bigs can't assert or stop Cunningham and we'd be fighting uphill.
What was his name? Sampscum or something?
I picture us playing the undefeated Zags.. Indiana .. History vs History there.. who is going to make it
I know it's a 1 vs 16 game but this thread is about Drexel. We shouldn't get caught looking ahead.

The team can't get caught looking ahead.
I'm not lacing up on Friday, and thank God for that. Our odds would be terrible

We played them as a 1 seed in 2001
Why is that? If we lose to them are they going to take top 50-75 instate recruits from us?
