The Hoyas have a departed big man that used to make their defense much better. They would funnel players into the middle and could over-play on the perimeter. It will take them some time to re-learn defense. It showed against Jacksonville where they struggled mightily against an inferior team and got just a nine-point win. Drexel will be a better team this year and opened with a hard fought win over Penn that gave North Carolina a battle for awhile already this season. I think the Hoyas for now are somewhat overrated, and this is another one of those "reputation" pointspreads that is just too high. As good as the Hoyas were last year they never blew teams out that they were expected to dominate. They were just 1-5 ATS when favored by 15 or more and they are starting this year in similar fashion. Drexel gets the call here.
