I Bleed Blue and White

The Game: #3 Villanova (6-0) vs. Drexel (3-4)

Location: The Pavilion in Villanova, PA

Time: 7:00 p.m. ET

Broadcast: ‘Nova Nation All-Access

Brief Rundown: Saturday afternoon’s performance against LaSalle looked and felt exactly like you thought it would after the Thanksgiving break – very sloppy. The shooting woes continued for ‘Nova and they got dominated on the boards for the first time in as long as I can remember. Yet, they still beat the Explorers by 18. To me that says this team is good that they can win that easily when playing that poorly.

Drexel is off to a 3-4 start on the year, and it hasn’t been pretty for the Dragons. Junior guard Jamie Harris has been the lone star, averaging over 17 points per game while shooting 46% from the field. Drexel scored a nice 13-point win over Vermont, but has also suffered tough defeats to Rutgers and St. Joe’s. They are only giving up 63 points per game, but only averaging 63.9 themselves. So they’ll definitely try to slow ‘Nova down and make this a halfcourt affair.

Common Opponents: Drexel beat Penn 58-49

What I Want To See: We need to start shooting the ball much more efficiently. This is our last ‘tune-up’ before what should be our toughest OOC test in a virtual road-game against Maryland on Sunday night. The team that has been careless with the ball and forcing up bad shots needs to go away. Also, please don’t get dominated on the boards again. It was a disgrace to watch. We don’t play ball like that.
