Everything went Drexel's way last night in the CAA. EVERYTHING. Northeastern beat UNCW. Hofstra beat Charleston. Elon beat William & Mary at William & Mary and most importantly, Towson came back from an 18 point deficit, as Ryan Allen missed two free throws with Towson up 64-63 and 1.1 seconds remaining in the game.

The implications of all of this for Drexel are pretty significant if you ask me. With a record currently of 4-4, Drexel sits in sole possesion of 4th place in the conference as we hit the half way point of CAA play in Delaware next Saturday. A win against Delaware puts us in a tie with the Blue Hens. Granted, with Charleston playing Elon Thursday and William & Mary Saturday, it might be a three way tie but still, we'd be in a secured position in the top half of the league.

With a fan base looking for results and progression, I think this is a pretty good year especially considering we are playing the entire season without Walton, Lee who has been unreliable and Perry's recent injury woes.

A win Saturday would give us a winning record in CAA play for the first time since February 18, 2015. It would also put us at or over .500 this late in the year for the first time since 2013-14.

Yes, our defense is struggling, but the zones against JMU looked considerably better. The point is: this team is moving in the right direction.

So, with an important game, I think it is up to us at the loyal fanbase to follow the DAC Pack's lead and start promoting that game. We need gold shirts in the stands of the Bob on Saturday. Its a key game for this program and these guys deserve our support.
