Game Notes Live Audio
Richmond, Va. - The postseason begins for the Drexel men's basketball team on Saturday afternoon at the Richmond Coliseum. The Dragons will face the George Mason Patriots in the opening round of the Colonial Athletic Association beginning at 3:30 p.m. The game can be seen live on The Comcast Network.
Drexel enters the postseason winners of two in a row. The Dragons finished 9-9 in CAA play after winning at Old Dominion and defeating UNCW on Senior Night in the Daskalakis Athletic Center. Damion Lee leads the Dragons with 17.4 points per game. The sophomore is among the CAA leaders in scoring and three-pointers per game. Frantz Massenat is second in the CAA in assists and averages 14.6 points per contest. If the Dragons are to move on, they will need big games from their two All-CAA guards, but will also need help from their seniors. Derrick Thomas and Daryl McCoy have played well as of late and could be the keys if the Dragons are going to make a run in Richmond.
The Patriots are one of the deepest teams in the CAA. Sherrod Wright averages more than 16 points per game and shoots 36 percent from deep. He is one of four players who shoots well from long range. Vertrail Vaughns, Patrick Holloway and Corey Edwards all shoot better than 36 percent from beyond the arc. Edwards makes 48 percent of his attempts, while backcourt mate Bryon Allen leads the CAA in assist-to-turnover ratio. Jonathan Arledge averages eight per game but had two good games against the Dragons earlier in the year. The teams each won on its opponents court.
The winner of Saturday's game will move on to the CAA semifinals to face Northeastern. The Huskies won the CAA regular-season title and earned a bye. The semifinal game will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday and will be broadcast on the NBC Sports Network.
