Phiadelphia - The Drexel men's basketball team faces UNCW on Senior Night tonight at the Daskalakis Athletic Center. The game can be seen live on The Comcast Network beginning at 7 p.m.
Drexel is 10-6 and tied for fifth place in the CAA. The Dragons are still in the hunt for a bye in the first round of the CAA Tournament, which starts next Friday in Richmond.

The Dragons are led by Jamie Harris. The junior is among the league leaders in scoring (14.7) and free throw percentage (.815). Harris struggled in the game against Bradley, making just three of his 14 shots. Chris Fouch is averaging 10.9 points, tops among CAA rookies, and has 61 three-pointers.

The Seahawks begin play at 4-11 in the CAA. They have lost three straight games and seven of their last eight games. UNCW has league wins at William and Mary, at Towson and at home against James Madison and Georgia State. On Saturday, UNCW fell to Radford on the road, 76-68. Montez Downey poured in 23 points for the Seahawks and was 6-for-11 from behind the three-point stripe. Trevor Deloach and Ahmad Grant each added 10 points. Chad Tomko has had another solid season for UNCW. He is averaging 13.3 points and also leads the club in steals, three-pointers and assists. John Fields is second on the team in scoring at 10.2 per game. He also averages a team-best 8.7 rebounds and is among the league leaders with 59 blocks.
