Drexel returns to action after a 65-58 overtime win over La Salle Saturday. The 3-point underdog Dragons rode a strong defensive effort and a few extra looks at the free-throw line to prevail despite shooting 34.2% from the floor. Drexel has held opponents under 60 points 5 times this season.
The Pirates lost 3 straight games from Nov. 25-Dec. 1, but they have rallied to win back-to-back games. A Seton Hall defense ranked 39th in NCAA-I (61.8 points per game) allowed a combined 98 points — alongside a 35% success rate from the floor — over those 2 wins.
