Drexel Men’s Basketball hosted Coppin State on Tuesday in a very odd matchup. The Coppin State Eagles (1-14) put up a fight but lost 69-76 to the Drexel Dragons (5-5).
Anyone walking into the arena would’ve likely been confused because both teams were wearing Drexel shirts. This is because Coppin State reportedly forgot to bring their team jerseys and they were forced to borrow Drexel’s warmup shirts instead of forfeiting the game.
College Basketball fans were quick to take notice of this bizarre matchup and everyone had some thoughts on it.

Reminds me of when a few Virginia Tech football jerseys turned up missing right before a game at Georgia Tech and they had to dig some old GT jerseys out of a closet. pic.twitter.com/KCTYzfYyOW

FUN FACT!!!
Coppin State does not have an Equipment Manager on their Athletics staff directory. We. Don’t. Just. Do. Laundry!! An equipment guy or girl wouldn’t have allowed this to happen. I’m just saying! https://t.co/jIlTw4B9NA
