Id honestly rather play Drexel, they havent impressed me at all. The only reason i want UNI to win is to play in Amherst and save me money to drive to Philly

Our speed and length should have been too much for La Salle, and Duquesne the first time. Drexel has a lot of solid 6'4 to 6'6 guys who were consistent enough to win about 20 CAA games in a row. I think this will be a grind.

Can't believe UNI missed that layup.

We can beat them. The only big they have that does anything is 6'4. Hes good, but i think we can shut them down. Put Jesse on thier shooter. UNI got to the middle of the lane a bunch of times on them. We can do the same. If UNI shot it a little better we would be at home. I feel good about the way our guys have been playing. Jackman, i know what your saying, but those teams were as fast or faster than us. Drexel is not. UNI was slow as shit and drexel didnt run at all.

The biggest difference between Miss. State & Seton Hall and Drexel is that Drexel will want it as much as we do. We can't look down at them because our conference is superior, look what happened to the SEC and BE schools that we played. I have faith that our guys will play hard, just play smart and let the talent decide the game.

So cool.....I expect a battle of styles....if they can control tempo we're in trouble. Not sure they can, though. Chaz just won't allow it. We are a tough out right now, but this will be a hard fought game.
