Drexel has won 2 of its last 3 and 4 of their last 7. Their 3 losses in that stretch have been very competitive and close margin losses...by 1 at UD, by 6 at W&M, and by 2 home vs Charleston in their last game this past Saturday.
In the previous meeting in Philly, JMU's Mosley scored 25 and Lewis contributed 21 points. Unfortunately, the rest of the team could only muster 22 points in a 73-68 loss. The final margin of only 5 points may be a bit deceiving as Drexel had a 12 pt lead with just under 4 minutes left in the game as well as a 10 pt lead with 49 seconds left.
At 6-7 in the CAA, Drexel currently sits 5th and avoiding the Keener Invite. Splitting at least 1 of 2 in this swing to JMU & Towson places the Dragons in a pretty good position to staying out of Saturday play at the CAAT. Lose them both - and with 2 games left with Hofstra and NE - and they might need some help unless they can pull an upset down the stretch.
I'll be surprised if there are more than 1,300 people in the Convo. But, at least we'll have plenty of room to move around for better viewing of the carnage. And, better viewing of the pep band.
I expect the opening line will be a Pick 'Em or JMU as a slight 1 pt favorite.
Come on, Dukes! 4 of our last 6 are at home. Can win this first one please?
