8:50 a.m., Feb. 12, 2007--The University of Delaware men's basketball team fell 77-62 to host Drexel University in a Colonial Athletic Association game played Saturday afternoon at the Daskalakis Center in Philadelphia.

UD trailed 31-27 at halftime and came out firing at the start of the second half to tie the game at 32-32 with 18:59 remaining. Drexel then went on a 16-0 run to pull away, although the Hens battled back to within three points midway through the second half. A second Drexel run, this one 12-2, put the game away. With the loss, the Hens fell to 5-21 overall and 3-12 in the CAA.
