James Madison won nine of its first 11 games, before having to pause for nearly a month starting on Dec. 11 due to COVID. Since resuming play on Jan. 9 the Dukes have yet to regain their earlier form going 4-6.

Drexel also lost three weeks of its season due to a COVID pause. The Dragons are 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Dragons are looking to post consecutive victories for just the second time this season after beating Delaware, 76-68, on the road this past Thursday.

James Madison has covered in 11 of its last 15 road contests.

I don't see why Drexel should be favored by this many points? The teams met on Jan. 27. James Madison was a 3 1/2-point home favorite. The Dukes were upset by Drexel, 88-82. The Dragons were red-hot making nearly 56 percent of their shots from the floor. James Madison shot 48 percent.

The Dukes are the better shooting team, though. They rank 30th in the nation in field goal percentage at 47.7 percent. Drexel shoots 46.9 percent from the floor.
