Drexel vs American Prediction
I’ll stay with the Eagles I suppose. American dispatched a middling Longwood team pretty easily in their latest outing, hitting a nice 50 percent from the field and an excellent 90 percent (27-of-30) from the line. American had 33 rebounds and 13 team assists alongside 12 turnovers in the win. It was a nice bounce-back effort after the Eagles scored just 55 points in a four-point loss to Siena the day before.
As for Drexel, they played pretty well in their latest win over Morgan State—outside of the 15 turnovers, anyway. The Dragons shot 42.3 percent from the field and 80.8 percent (21-of-26) from the line along with a 37-24 rebounding edge. That gives Drexel 71 or more points in four straight games, with three wins in that time. The Dragons will be competitive here if they keep up that trend.
