Drexel vs Stony Brook Prediction
You can make a case that the Stony Brook Seawolves are one of the worst teams in the country. Stony Brook shoots under 41 percent from the field and allows nearly 76 points on 49.3 percent shooting. Stony Brook is also 5-9 ATS on the season, which doesn’t help matters. The Drexel Dragons have five road wins, and they’re elite defensively, holding teams under 40 percent shooting. Not ideal for a Stony Brook offense that already struggles. Also, Drexel is 10-4 ATS on the season. I just can’t find the confidence to back Stony Brook. Give me the Drexel Dragons for their sixth road win of the season.
