PHILADELPHIA - The Drexel men's basketball team will look to get back in the win column on Saturday when Hofstra comes to town. That won't be easy as the Pride is 3-2 in CAA play and are coming off an impressive win at Towson on Thursday. The Dragons will look to snap a two-game losing streak as they enter play at 1-4 in league play and 7-11 overall. Game time is set for 4 p.m. at the Daskalakis Athletic Center.
Last Time Out
Drexel rallied from a 16-point deficit, but came up just short on Thursday night at Delaware. The Dragons held the Blue Hens without a field goal for the final 5:26 but Delaware prevailed, 72-66 at the Bob Carpenter Center.
Delaware looked like they would cruise to a victory against its longtime rival after Darian Bryant's three-pointer with 7:07 to play put the Hens up 66-50. That would be the second to last field goal of the night for Delaware as the Dragons made a furious run to get back in the game. Tramaine Isabell's three-pointer with 1:19 to play capped a 16-3 run to make the score 69-66. After an Austin Williams blocked shot Drexel had the ball down by three. Isabell missed on a three-point attempt with 39 seconds to go and the Dragons immediately fouled Anthony Mosley. He made one of two to put the Blue Hens up by four. Kurk Lee missed a three-pointer on the next trip and the Dragons fouled Ryan Daly. The sophomore iced the game with a pair of free throws with just 15 ticks left on the clock.
Isabell led four Dragons in double figures with 14 points. The junior also grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds, 14 of them coming on the defensive end. Sammy Mojica and Alihan Demir each added 13 points. Demir was 4-for-5 from the floor. Lee chipped in with 12 points and four steals, while Williams snared 10 rebounds and blocked four shots.
Eric Carter had a big game inside for Delaware. He had 17 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. Ryan Allen scored 14 points and made three three-pointers. Daly, the Blue Hens leading scorer, added 13, but was held to just 4-for-16 shooting by the Dragons' defense.
Delaware shot 48 percent on the night and was 6-for-14 from behind the three-point arc. The Dragons made just five three-pointers on 25 attempts, including a tough 1-for-10 performance in the first half. Overall, they shot 41 percent from the floor in the game.

Wright-Foreman averages a CAA-best 25.9 points per game, six points more than anyone else. Eli Pemberton chips in with 15.1 ppg. He shoots 44 percent from deep.
