Can the College of Charleston Pick up Another Road Win?

College of Charleston has a ton of confidence right now after they picked up another big road win in the last game. The Cougars went on the road and knocked off the Northeastern Huskies 73-62. In the second half, the defense gave up only 29 points on the way to the victory. The most impressive part of this squad is the balanced attack. Ante Brzovic stepped up, putting up 20 points, six rebounds, and one assist. Two games ago, also on the road, the College of Charleston knocked off NC A&T 69-59. 

The College of Charleston wants to get up and down, and although the offense has been good, it sometimes hurts the defense. The Cougars are averaging 77.4 points, while their defense is giving up 74.2 points per game. Charleston has done a good job of getting out to fast starts, averaging 37.11 points per first half, and jumping out to a fast start will be key here. Most nights, Ante Brzovic is the best player on the floor, and he’s averaging 18.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. He has scored at least 13 points in nine of the last ten games. 

Why the College of Charleston Will Beat Drexel

  • College of Charleston has won 13 of its last 14 day games against Conference opponents.
  • Drexel has lost three of its last four games against the Coastal Athletic Association.

Does Drexel Have Confidence?

The big question for Drexel is how much momentum they gained in the last game. The Dragons went on the road and picked up the 78-74 victory over Delaware. The offense scored 45 points in the first half, and jumping out to a fast start will be key. Drexel used a balanced attack, with four of the five starters putting up at least 10 points. Jason Drake paced the team, putting up 14 points, six rebounds, and two assists. Two games ago against William & Mary, the offense only scored 59 points, and they ended up losing by 13 points. 

Drexel has a .500 record while covering 17 of the 28 spreads. One of the more interesting stats for Drexel is they have a losing record at home, winning only 4 of the 10 games while still having a .500 record overall. Drexel’s defense has been the team’s strength, giving up 67.3 points per game, and to succeed in this game, they will need the defense to step up again.

Why Drexel Will Beat the College of Charleston 

  • Drexel has won 14 of its last 16 day games against Conference opponents at John A. Daskalakis Athletic Center.

College of Charleston vs Drexel Prediction

The College of Charleston has been good away from home this season, something that hasn’t been the case for Drexel at home. The Drexel defense is good, giving up 67.3 points per game, but they aren’t going to find success against an elite offense with the Cougars. College of Charleson averages 77.4 points per game, and they will put on a show with the offense. The best player on the court here is Brzovic, and Drexel will struggle to slow him down. Don’t be scared off because the College of Charleston is on the road; they will come out on top. Back the College of Charleston against the spread here.
