Today's game was fun. Drexel came out strong with a 14-0 lead, but then kept trying to shoot 3's over UNCW's zone that were unsuccessful. Shots stopped falling for most of the remainder of the 1st half. While Drexel had a 20-4 lead after one, UNCW found their offense and Drexel couldn't buy a shot in the 2nd quarter and only led by 11 at halftime.

In the 2nd half, Drexel showed why they are so dangerous and they came after UNCW like a swarm of bees. Seahawks were short handed enough by losing 2 starters to injuries and having played yesterday. Drexel clearly took advantage of that and just wore them defensively. Then Drexel's shots started falling and the rest was history. So this game was classic DD. Defense first and the offense will come as a result of great defense.

Nice crowd for game 1 and by far the largest crowd of the day. Drexel had a nice student crowd who came out for free pizza, but were generally laid back and quiet. As I mentioned in the other post, it's great that they showed up, but they are in no way intimidating. Hopefully the sound of a semi-final game against our arch enemies for a 3:00 game on a Friday afternoon will help energize the students and bring out an even bigger crowed tomorrow. We've got to do something to counter act Delaware's rabid pack of Senior Citizens.
