Morgantown, W.V. - Drexel's difficult stretch of games continues on Saturday when the Dragons make the trip to Morgantown to face West Virginia. The Mountaineers are a member of the Big 12 Conference, arguably the best conference in college basketball. Game time is set for 4 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN+ or you can listen on drexeldragons.com. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Worker's Local 98 is once again the presenting sponsor of Drexel Men's Basketball.
About the Dragons
Drexel is 5-4 after having its brief two-game winning streak snapped at Princeton on Tuesday night, 81-70. The Tigers, who are off to their best start in more than 100 years, led the entire way. Drexel chipped away and cut the lead to eight on a few occasions in the second half, but Princeton answered to move to 9-0.
Kobe MaGee had a breakout game for the Dragons. The Allentown native scored a career-high 18 points and had five rebounds. Justin Moore led the team with 19 points. The Dragons had a huge rebound advantage, but the Tigers shot 57.6 percent from the floor, the highest total Drexel has allowed this year.
About West Virginia
The Mountaineers are 3-5 after falling at home to Pitt on Wednesday night. The Panthers has lost six straight to West Virginia before last night. Pitt tied a West Virginia Coliseum record with 16 3-pointers and prevailed, 80-63.
Quinn Slazinksi is the Mountaineers' top offensive weapon, averaging 17.4 points per game. His 16 3-pointers and .364 3-point percentage both lead the team. Syracuse transfer Jesse Edwards averages 16.3 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. He is shooting .575 from the floor. Kobe Johnson is also in double figures with 10.6 points. The Mountaineers outrebound their opponents by four per game and score 64 points per game.
The Series
Drexel and West Virginia have only met once on the hardcourt. The Mountaineers prevailed in the first meeting, 89-62, back in 1980. Joe Fryz scored a game-high 18 points in a game refereed by Gene Steratore. Randy Burkett led Drexel with 16 points, while Len Hatzenbeller added 14 for DU.
What's Next
The Dragons will be in finals week next week in Philadelphia. They won't suit up again until next Saturday when Albany comes to the Daskalakis Athletic Center for a 2 p.m. tip-off.
