The Dragons take on head coach Bruiser Flint’s former team in UMass at one of the toughest bandboxes to play in the country in the DAC. There’s a reason why Drexel is unbeaten at home this year. They have a great homecourt advantage and it also helps that the Dragons have won 29 games and 21 of their last 22 games. They were one of the last teams not taken in the NCAA Tournament and they are playing wiith a chip on their shoulder because they felt they should have been in the Big Dance. Drexel’s guard play and homecourt advantage will be too much for UMass.
