DREXEL RUMORS & GOSSIP

Scott Stewart, the Colorado Mammoth transition player, recently took time to do an interview with The Capital Sports Report. His interview is about his sports career. TCSR: Why did you choose to go to Drexel? Scott Stewart (Credit:Michael Martin/Colorado Mammoth) SS: “I chose to go to Drexel, because I didn’t know much about the schools in the states. I went down there on a recruiting...

The 2012 NIT bracket has been released and three Philly schools have made the round of 32. Drexel received an automatic bid as a result of their winning the CAA regular season title, but St. Joe’s and La Salle each made the field as well. All three Philly schools will be the home team in the first round. Drexel Dragons will take on the Central Florida Knights March 14, at 7...

Nothing like adding insult to injury. Drexel lost to VCU last night, which in all likelihood cost them a birth in the NCAA Tournament. But for Daryl McCoy, things would get worse. McCoy lost his “drawers” – if you will – early in the first half when a VCU player drove to the hoop, accidentally pulled down McCoy’s pants in the process. Nothing else comes...

Last night, VCU may have dashed Drexel’s dream of reaching the NCAA tournament with a crushing 59-56 win in the CAA title game. About halfway through the first half, Drexel forward, Daryl McCoy had what ended up being salt rubbed in the wound by VCU's Treveon Graham.   It wasn't intentional by Graham, as he was just trying to keep himself upright as he lost...

Drexel forward Daryl McCoy was dealt a double dose of humility on Monday. As if falling victim to the upset bug to the hands of VCU in the CAA title game wasn't enough, the junior also had to endure a wardrobe malfunction on national TV. His unfortunate occurence gives new meaning to the term "March Madness"With just over seven minutes remaining in the first half TV...

During the first half of last night’s Colonial Athletic Association championship game, VCU guard Treveon Graham drove into the lane, drew a foul on Drexel big man Daryl McCoy, then yanked down McCoy’s pants. If you can make out what McCoy says as he pulls up his trunks, please let us know in the comments. Also feel free to speculate about a VCU-pantsing-bounty scandal...

So our dream CAA Final Four was a bit of a letdown. Drexel and VCU delivered early knockout blows to Old Dominion and George Mason, held double digit leads at intermission and cruised to victory. The Dragons and Rams will square off tonight for the CAA Championship and the automatic bid into the NCAA Dance. With 34 of 79 mock bracketologists placing both in the field as of this morning...

Chris Fouch had 14 points to pace four double-figure scorers, leading Drexel over UNC Wilmington 59-47 on Saturday in the quarterfinal round of the Colonial Athletic Association tournament. The top-seeded Dragons, who had a bye in the first round, advanced to the semifinals on Sunday. Samme Givens and Frantz Massenat added 11 points apiece and Damion Lee poured in 10 for Drexel...

Game after game, the wins never stop coming at Drexel. Same with the doubts. The Dragons have the kind of gaudy winning streak and overall record that would put some power conference teams in the discussion for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. In West Philadelphia, though, the Dragons wonder if their resume is sturdy enough to even make the tournament for the first time since...

Damion Lee scored 18 points and Drexel used a strong first half to pull away for a 69-49 win over Cleveland State on Saturday. Daryl McCoy had 13 points and nine rebounds for the Dragons (23-5), who won their 15th consecutive game in the Bracket Buster matchup. Sammie Givens had eight points and a game-high 14 rebounds. Drexel took a 19-3 lead on a layup by Chris Fouch. The Dragons...

Just a week ago, the Drexel Dragons were a precarious 1-2 in the tough Colonial Athletic Association, with two big names looming on the schedule in Final Four darlings Virginia Commonwealth (2011) and George Mason (2006), the two schools that put the CAA on the map. After first battling the VCU Rams to the end in a 64-58 victory, the Dragons knew they were in for another dogfight...

The Drexel Dragons and Temple Owls are both playing home games on Wednesday evening, but neither of them are expecting easy games as the non-conference schedules wind down. The Owls are just three games away from hosting the Dayton Flyers as the Atlantic 10 season kicks off, while Drexel is just a week away from a Jan. 2 date at Georgia State to kick off the main portion of the Colonial...

Saint Joseph’s used a 12-1 run to end of the first half to break away from Drexel as the Hawks won their second straight home game by double digits, 62-49, over the Dragons.

The game was the first City6 matchup for either squad, and it was a chance for Saint Joseph's to...
