Gotta stop the bleeding. And last place Drexel is a good team to do it against.
After a solid start to the year out of conference, Drexel has had a rough go in conference play. A 11-16 overally record, 4-11 in conference, has granted them a 217 RPI and 254 Pomeroy rating. They are battling GSU for the 12th seed in the CAA tourney, but having 2 of their last 3 games against weak opponents is in their favor. Pomeroy gives W&M a 74% chance of winning on Wednesday night and haulting the losing streak.
Frank Elegar remains the Dragons best player, and is controlling the paint shooting 57% and leading the team in blocked shots. Keeping Peter Stein out of foul trouble will be key, as Steve Hess on one leg will have difficulty stopping this all-CAA candidate. If Tribe could give him 2-3 early fouls this could get ugly fast.
I don’t see this game being all that close, as the Tribe beat them at the DAC(tough place to play). I would rest Kisielius if i were Shaver, as he is definitely not the same player he was 3 weeks ago. If they get Elegar in trouble early it could be worse, but I see a 12 point winner.
WM-73
DU-61
