Since FDU was too scared to play us, we have another opportunity for our 2nd game. This one slightly more difficult. Not playing FDU isnt helpful for Drexel. We now have zero real games prior to this game. No real warm ups, no real game speed. That is troubling. Syracuse opened Tuesday with a blowout over Lafayette. Syracuse will be long, athletic and playing a zone defense.
Turnovers will be important. If we dont take care of the ball, it will be a long evening. Melik, Mate and company will likely need to bring their A shooting game for us to give any chance at an upset. Attacking the basket will be needed, but length could cause issues, so we will need to find our shooters on kick-outs.
Let the season begin. On the road, against Syracuse on ESPN2 at 5pm. No bigger stage than that. We will get a good look at what we have this season. A veteran team should be able to compete when the lights shine bright. I hope that is the case.
Drexel- 58
Syracuse- 84
Vegas: Orange people-16
