Drexel has been defending the 3 very well so far this season, although they are allowing a high amount of 3 point attempts. They also allow the 6th highest % of points from 2-pointers in the country, with over 63% of opponents' points this season coming from inside the 3pt line. Sounds like a game where Aririguzoh, Llewellyn, and Schwieger need to get to the rim often.
On the defensive side, Drexel turns the ball over at a ridiculous rate, averaging 18 turnovers a game and on 25.6% of their possessions. In Drexel's losses this year, they've lost to Temple (17 turnovers), Rutgers (12 turnovers), Stephen F. Austin (30 TOs!), and UMBC (20 TOs). Princeton, on the other hand, has been one of the worst teams in the country at forcing turnovers so far this season. Drexel is shooting 37% from 3 on the season, good for 66th in the country, so another challenge for a Tigers defense that still ranks 347th out of 353 teams in 3pt defense.

Turnovers may also be a function of the competition. Drexel has been competitive against a few very good teams.
Should be a good battle at the rim between Butler and Richmond. Butler transferred out of all places Naval Academy and he average 14/11.5. Should help Richmond get ready for his upcoming battles against Atkinson, Brodeur etc.
Toss up game on the road. Let's see if Tigers play like the first last two games or prior 4 games. Could be somewhere in between, let's hope not.

Without watching Drexel, it's hard to say if it's a result of competition or maybe their play style. They did turn it over 19 and 24 times in their wins against KP #333 Niagara and #290 Abilene Christian

Drexel hasn't used the Institute name for over 50 years, but we still called them Dreck Tech back in the '70s

If you subscribe to Hulu, you will pick up the game tonight. Not sure what are the other options.

I apologize. My father, God Bless his soul, sent me to Cambridge to salvage the family name. I've failed miserably.

I thought it implied some specific subset of gamblers (e.g. dog at home or some such).

Here I thought the change was necessary because the entire Institute had to recalibrate their slide rules.

13-13 with 14 to go. Tigers getting to the rim whenever they want so far, Drexel's hitting some mid range jumpers
