Either by design or necessity, there's some slow-ball being played at various CAA outposts this season. In Drexel's case, probably design, as HC Zach Spiker can't seem to shake his days at Army and a punishing style that resembles Bob Knight's snarling West Point sides from the 60s. Yet it's this sort of uncompromising defense that has fueled three straight Dragons wins, allowing a tick under 49 ppg in the process. and ranked top 30 nationwide in scoring defense. As for Pat Skerry's host Towson, maybe more by necessity, as the Tigers are barely hitting 28% beyond the arc, and off a 34% shooting display that was nonetheless good enough to see off Charleston 61-52 in the Baltimore suburbs last Thursday. Play Drexel-Towson Under.
