Drexel's Rebounding and Shooting Strengths Pose Challenge for UNCW
Drexel's adept team boasts notable rebounder Cole Hargove (6-8, 250), averaging 7.9 rebounds per game, which will aid them in matching up against the Seahawks on the boards. Employing a deliberate pace, the team will rely on players such as MaGee, Drake, Butler, and Shane Blakeney to generate offense off the dribble. Conversely, UNCW demonstrates vulnerability on the defensive end, allowing opponents to shoot at a 36% clip from beyond the arc and 44.55% from the field when playing away from home. Drexel, shooting 39.2% from long range at their home court, will look to capitalize on this weakness.
