What to Know

The Drexel Dragons and the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens are set to square off in a Colonial matchup at 2 p.m. ET Jan. 21 at John A Daskalakis Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with Drexel winning the first 76-68 and Delaware taking the second 66-56.

The Dragons didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the Hampton Pirates on Thursday, but they still walked away with a 79-73 win. Guard Lamar Oden Jr. and forward Amari Williams were among the main playmakers for Drexel as the former had 19 points and the latter dropped a double-double on 14 points and 11 rebounds in addition to four blocks. Williams had some trouble finding his footing against the Northeastern Huskies on Saturday, so this was a step in the right direction.

Meanwhile, everything went Delaware's way against the William & Mary Tribe on Thursday as they made off with an 80-53 victory. Guard Jameer Nelson Jr. was the offensive standout of the matchup for Delaware, picking up 20 points. This also makes it three games in a row in which Nelson Jr. has had at least three steals.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Dragons are expected to win a tight contest Saturday. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Thursday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Drexel is now 11-8 while the Fightin' Blue Hens sit at 11-9. Drexel is 4-6 after wins this season, Delaware 5-5.
