The No. 20 Louisville Cardinals lost 52-46 to Drexel last night at the KFC Yum! Center.
To make matters worse, Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com reports that Drexel head coach Bruiser Flint gave his team an interesting message before the game:
[QUOTE]
Drexel was supposed to be down this year after Flint lost his leading scorer and point guard Jamie Harris and reserve forward Kevin Phillip in the preseason following a robbery.
“That’s what everyone thought at the league meetings,” Flint said. “But we knew we were going to be better than people thought. We returned everyone else.”
That was clear as Drexel ran its record to 7-1 with the 52-46 win.
The Dragons don’t have a ton of margin for error as Flint plays just seven guys, but he said his guys went in knowing they could compete.
[B]”I told them, `We’re not playing against Kentucky. We can win this game.’” [/B]
A year ago, Flint was doubled up by Kentucky and his former boss, John Calipari, 88-44.
[B]”Louisville isn’t the biggest team in the world,” Flint said. “Especially their guards.”[/B]
