I'm backing the better defensive squad in this matchup. The Dragons are very slow-tempo, as well, so they should be able to muck up the game. Fordham is an inefficient offensive squad that didn't shoot it well from two (324th) or three (296th) last season and didn't improve via the transfer portal. Drexel ranked 135th in defensive efficiency and 332nd in tempo last season, and projects to be about the same this season, albeit even more slower-paced (343rd).

Seven points gives us comfortable room to cover in a potential "upset."
