If you throw out their last two games (both against AAC competition) and their first two games of the season (road contests in Michigan and New Jersey two days apart), and the Dragons have reached 71 points in eight of nine games. Drexel put up 69 at Northeastern last season and 75, 60 and 73 in the the three New England meetings before that. On a slow Friday night during Christmas week, that’s good enough for us to tap lightly.
