The Drexel Dragons are offensively challenged but play good defense, and we look for them to control the pace at home when they host the Delaware Fighting Blue Hens tonight, which should result in a low scoring affair.
Taking a peak at the Pomeroy Ratings, Drexel is averaging a lowly .933 points per possession, ranking them number 284 in the country in raw offensive efficiency. Even after adjusting for their opposition, the Dragons do not improve much, reporting home at 241.
On the defensive end however, Drexel is allowing just .968 PPP, and their adjusted figure of .945 ranks them a very respectable number 70 in the country. When combining these offensive and defensive numbers, it should come as no surprise that the Under is a very profitable 9-4-1 in all Dragons games so far this season.
Delaware has not exactly been a scoring machine either this season, averaging .988 points per possession with an adjusted offensive PPP ranking of 218. They are also a poor offensive rebounding team, meaning that they do not get many second chance garbage points. Like Drexel, the biggest positives for the Blue Hens can both be found on the defensive end, where they are in the Top 50 in the nation in both Block Percentage and Steal Percentage.
Thus, look for a rather boring contest with a very choppy pace.
