RE: Drexel Basketball Opening Night - TV and Radio
Including home court advantage, the main component of last season's Sagarin predicted Temple by 15.72. An 8 point loss - 3.13 for home court advantage is 4.87. You were 244th in the Sagarin last season. 4.87 points worse than Temple would have put you tied for 134th. I'm sure the Sagarin uses enough precision to avoid exact ties, but Jeff Sagarin doesn't release his formula so there's no way to tell if 4.87 worse than Temple would have been 134th or 135th. If Temple is better or the same as last season, playing like that every tonight would make you above .500 in the CAA. Before yesterday, how happy would you have been with a 10-8 CAA record?
With Brantley and Cacok gone, Butler is in the conversation for best forward other than Knight. Last season he was similar to JMU's Dwight Wilson.
