What to Know

A Colonial battle is on tap between the Northeastern Huskies and the Drexel Dragons at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at John A Daskalakis Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The contest between Northeastern and the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens on Thursday was not particularly close, with the Huskies falling 74-61. A silver lining for Northeastern was the play of guard Glen McClintock, who had 15 points.

Meanwhile, Drexel came up short against the Hofstra Pride on Thursday, falling 83-73. Forward Amari Williams put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 19 points.

Northeastern is expected to lose this next one by 6.5. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the team is 3-8-1 ATS when expected to lose.

The losses put Northeastern at 7-17 and the Dragons at 11-11. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Huskies are 10th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.3 on average. Drexel has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 35th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11.1 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
