A Philly school? Well at least we will not be heading back there next year!

[chitown fanatic]

Why not? Isn't the return guaranteed? As for the matchup, I like the renewal of the not so distant NIT battle vs. the Dragons. Not bad

the payback game will be 2 years down the road...so we don't get locked into 2 mandatory road games next year...new BB rule...

[Da Coach]

Here is the Drexel Dragons' basketball website with links to their schedule/results, roster, etc.-

http://www.drexeldragons.com/index.aspx?tab=basketball&path=mbball

stats- they are not a great 3-point shooting team-

Can BU agree to play there next year if we wish? It looks like they really only get quality minutes from one senior this year. Could be a decent road game for us next year.

Nor can they shoot free throws 62.3& and they have 280 assists vs. 298 turnovers.
I like the fact that we have drawn an East Cost Metropolitan team, Philadelphia, maybe they will teach us a little toughness!

[MacabreMob]

I like Drexel - nice draw.

Braves will host the Drexel Dragons (12-11)

Yuck...I was hoping for better--but since we are 10-11...I guess it is what it is--likely a small crowd for a who cares game

It'll be one of the largest crowds Drexel has played infront of this season

What, you wanted Morehead St. which ISU drew, or The Broncos of Western Michigan who head to Carbondale.?
Typical Midwest naivete. Drexel has a pretty good history, is in a good conference, and in is located an area rich with basketball talent!.

[TheAsianSensation]

YES YES YES YES YES they finally listened to me

[BuAlum03]

i love this draw! Especially since it means we get an east-coast game in 2 years. Let's face it - it's not like we have any sort of at-large chances right now, anyway.
