Drexel Dragons

Drexel's basketball team has had a mixed season, performing well in conference play but struggling in the CAA. Most recently, they suffered a close double-overtime loss to UNC Wilmington, with four players scoring in double figures. Despite the loss, they have covered the spread in their last three games. The team ranks seventh in the CAA and 204th in the nation according to BartTorvik. Offensively, Drexel's strength lies in three-point shooting, where they rank second in the conference both offensively and defensively. Kobe Magee and Tame Butler lead the team in scoring. Defensively, the Dragons rank 46th in the nation, allowing an average of 66.38 points per game. Their statistics show they excel in defensive rebounding and limiting opponent three-point shooting. In terms of field goal and free throw percentages, they fall in the middle of the pack nationally. Despite their ups and downs, Drexel has shown promise in various aspects of their game throughout the season.
