Drexel set the record for the biggest comeback in NCAA Division I men's basketball history last night when the Dragons rallied from 34 points down to defeat Delaware, 85-83.
Drexel, of course, was pumped about erasing the 67-year-old NCAA record. The reactions from fans on social media were classic:
Tramaine Isabell scored or assisted on more points than the entire Delaware team during Drexel's comeback run.

Since the Eagles won the Super Bowl, the Flyers are 8-1 and the Sixers are 6-0. And Drexel just pulled off the greatest comeback in NCAA Div 1 hoops, overcoming a 34-point deficit to win.
