He is a walking Excedrin commercial, but I can’t blame him for this one. Drexel’s end-game “basketball IQ” was horrendous. More missed layups, fouls after letting the shot clock run to 15 seconds, and especially not boxing out on free throws are sanity killers.

Then there are the officials, who are bound to miss a call or two.

For Drexel fans, it is a loss, but here’s the half-full takeaway: you missed a boatload of free throws, probably a dozen easy layups, didn’t rebound with your normal verve, and played extremely dumb basketball against a quality team on the road. You played poorly. And you had a chance to tie in the final 15 seconds.

Final note: Pete Thamel, the extremely talented New York Times college basketball writer, tweeted that “I love how Bruiser Flint smiles and yells at the same time. Its uncanny.”

Indeed.

And now: 90 minutes of actual work, 10 minutes to make a sandwich, and back in front of the tube for Nor’easter and Siena.
