So when is the last time that a Drexel ticket sold for more than $225 a ticket? What’s quickly become the hottest ticket in town, the game tonight against the Drexel Dragons should mark the 2,000 win for the University of Kentucky.
107 Years in the making this game will put Calipari in the record books much earlier than many predicted. Here are some quotes from Calipari on the game tonight…
“First of all, I’m such a small part of the 2,000 wins. But, there is a sense of responsibility when you are in this seat.”
“The minute you sit in the seat I’m in, you understand the importance to the state. I’m happy we are up against it now. Let’s just get it over and move on to what we have to do this season.
When Perry Stevenson was asked what the team thought about going for 2,000 he had this to say
“We are approaching it as just another game. I am sure that we will celebrate after. There has not been much talk about it. You just have to approach it like it is just another game, but in the back of everyone’s mind it feels good to be the first.”
Keep an eye out for Drexels Jamie Harris and Gerald Colds. They do most of scoring.
