St. Joseph's at Drexel

St. Joseph's may have a losing record, but they've played well against some tough competition. This team was 28-8 a year ago and returns excellent playmaking in the backcourt with Shavar Newkirk (20.3 points per game) and Lamarr Kimble (14.4 points per game). The Hawks come off a loss to defending champion Villanova, but are 43-20-1 ATS following a straight up loss, and are on a 14-5 ATS run on the road. The level of competition drops off sharply when they face inner-city rival Drexel. The Dragons have struggled versus lesser competition and have been turnover prone. Against High Point, Lafayette, and LaSalle the last three games they've averaged 18 turnovers and just 10 assists. For the season, they average 15 turnovers per game. Drexel is also a weak defensive team, off a 6-25 campaign a year ago, and on a 17-38-3 ATS run at home. Play St. Joseph's.
