I'm cutting straight to the preview today, as witty insight and clever introductions are MY worst enemy.
UD @ Drexel- Drexel is on fire, plain and simple. Riding an eight game winning streak, they are definitely filling the mold of CAA contender. Frantz Massenat may not be the best player in the Colonial, but he certainly appears to be the most valuable player. Bruiser Flint has his men playing to the best of their abilities, and entering February looking like the team to beat.
Delaware is coming off a gut-wrenching loss at NU, in which the Hens had a five point lead with 30 seconds left, then proceeded to drink from the proverbial fountain of misfortune. Khalid Lewis lost his composure, poor in-bounds plays, missing free throws, and a weird scoreboard shot as time expired doomed the Hens. Not to take credit away from NU, as they shot over 50% from behind the arc and played stellar defense in the minutes that mattered the most. For the team to excel today, they must continue to do what they do best- get the ball inside to Josh Brinkley and Jamelle Hagins. If UD can replicate what they were able to accomplish at home today, this could be an interesting game.
In the end though, Drexel is too good to lose this one at home, and in a revenge game, Bruiser will have something good cooked up for this one.
Drexel 64, UD 52
