What to Know

The Drexel Dragons' road trip will continue as they head to Schar Center at 4 p.m. ET Saturday to face off against the Elon Phoenix. The Dragons will be strutting in after a victory while Elon will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Drexel didn't have too much trouble with the William & Mary Tribe on the road on Thursday as they won 72-57. Drexel got double-digit scores from five players: guard Camren Wynter (14), guard Lamar Oden Jr. (13), guard Trevion Brown (11), guard Xavier Bell (10), and guard Melik Martin (10).

Meanwhile, Elon came up short against the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens on Thursday, falling 71-62. One thing holding Elon back was the mediocre play of guard Hunter McIntosh, who did not have his best game: he finished with 16 points on 6-for-22 shooting in his 38 minutes on the court.

The Dragons are the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 9-3 ATS in away games but only 15-9 all in all.

Drexel's win brought them up to 13-12 while the Phoenix's loss pulled them down to 8-20. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Drexel is stumbling into the contest with the 40th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11.2 on average. Elon has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 52nd worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11.4 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
