Drexel vs Temple Prediction 

Both of these teams have started the season with two straight wins, but only one will walk out of this matchup with a 3-0 record. Temple will have the home-court advantage and they have a very good scorer in Jamal Mashburn Jr. Drexel has played very solid defensively in their first two games, but that first win came against a non-D-1 team. I do think Temple could struggle on the glass in this matchup, but I don’t think Drexel will have an answer for Mashburn, so take the Owls here.
