Drexel vs Elon Prediction

I’ll stick with Elon but I’m probably not touching this one. The Phoenix need to get over a tough loss to a middling Hampton team this week as well. Elon shot 42.9 percent from the field in that one and gave up just 37.7 percent shooting on defense. The Phoenix were a tepid 18-of-30 (60 percent) from the line however, and gave up 13 turnovers in the defeat. Elon is just 1-4 in their last five games, giving up 72 or more points in all five of those.

As for Drexel, they shot well (49.1 percent) from the field in their loss to Campbell. The Dragons also gave up 50 percent on the other side though, and had 17 turnovers. The 20 percent (3-of-15) from 3-point range didn’t help either. Drexel is 3-1 in their last four but they’ve been below 62 points in three straight.
