Drexel vs UNC Wilmington Prediction
Drexel isn’t exactly a world beater, but it’s been in close games this season and defends the three ball well enough to hang around. UNC Wilmington is the more talented team with more scoring depth, but it’s 0-4-1 ATS in its last 5 games. UNC Wilmington hasn’t cashed a ticket since November 29. We also can’t ignore the loss to Howard as a 16-point favorite. There’s been a lot of close games between UNC Wilmington and Drexel over the years, which includes an overtime contest back in February. Give me the points with the Dragons.
