College Basketball Round Up





Drexel seems like it might be starting to turn its season around after beating perennial CAA powerhouse VCU last night, 75-72. Now I’m not sure how good VCU is this year without Eric Maynor or former Coach Anthony Grant, but I can’t imagine that they took a huge slide. Chris Fouch scored a game high 19 points and after sitting out last year with a medical redshirt it looks like he could live up to the hype he had coming in to Drexel. He’s only a freshman so he’s expected to have his ups and downs, but I’m glad to see that he can play to his potential in big games.



In other news Cornell narrowly lost to Kansas on the road. I watched the tail end of that game once I saw how close it was and I have to believe that analysts will be all over Cornell as an upset pick once the tournament rolls around. They have really good outside shooting and it looks like Foote can make some moves in the paint as well. Not having seen much of the game last night I wonder how they’ll play if they encounter a very physical team since it seems like their game is based more on finesse than strength (mind you this is based off of watching (1.1 games).

Hilarious note: turns out there is a town in Kansas called Cornell, who would have known! Apparently it does not contain any buildings, just a train track according to google maps. It’s located just outside of Pittsburg (!) Kansas.



I got dinged in the comments for not having a good picture to word ratio...so here you go:


Very poignant for this time of year

I just find it funny that the x axis is labeled "Impetus for Action"
