Who's Playing

Drexel @ Northeastern

Current Records: Drexel 6-6; Northeastern 6-9

What to Know

The Northeastern Huskies will be returning home after a four-game road trip. Northeastern and the Drexel Dragons will face off in a Colonial battle at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at Matthews Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Things couldn't have gone much worse for the Huskies as they lost 89-66 to the James Madison Dukes on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Drexel was close but no cigar on Tuesday as they fell 81-77 to the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens. That makes it the first time this season Drexel has let down their home crowd.

Northeastern is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the William & Mary Tribe Dec. 31 easily too and instead slipped up with a 71-70. In other words, don't count Drexel out just yet.
