Drexel Dragons had a good weekend

The most surprising college team in Philadelphia this winter would definately have to be the Drexel Dragons. Their men's basketball team is having a spectacular winter, beating Villanova earlier in the season. So it shouldn't come as too much of a surpise, but it still is that Drexel beat Creighton yesterday in a terrific come from behind road win. The game was shown on ESPN and called a "Bracket Busters" game. Drexel isn't in first place in their league, but they have shown the ability to win on the road (12 road wins - best in Division 1) which should come in handy come conference tournament time. In case we forgot the surprise team of last year's March Madness - George Mason - is from the same conference as Drexel.
It would definately be a crazy March if Drexel made it farther than any Big 5 team. We shall see.
