NC Wilmington at Drexel

Drexel has come out of nowhere to emerge as the Colonial Conferences top contender with a 10-2 start. They already have beaten Syracuse and Villonova on the young season, and seem poised to turnaround last seasons 15-16 mark. Their is caution to be observed here. This is for the most part the same team that was down by 2 vs Duke with 14 minutes left in the game, before losing by just 10. This is the same team that lost to UCLA by a single point, and then went on to lose 10 conference games! Their is a lot of emphasis put on this line in those 2 big upset wins. You also have to remember this team lost to Penn by 19, and lost to Rider by 8, and barely got by Toledo by 5, and struggled against Georgia St. in a 6 point win. This is not a vintage NC Wilmington team, but they are well coached, and play smart. Drexel shots only 43.9% from the floor, and 15 is a lot to give especially since they seem to only play their best, vs the best. They are 7-20-2 ATS as a favorite last 29, and just 5-13-2 ATS last 20 at home. NC Wilmington has been money as a big dog, as they are a perfect 5-0 ATS as a +13 or higher. We'll take the big dog to the fight.
