Series History
Campbell is 1-1 against the Dragons in the only two meetings, both in the last two years since the Camels joined the CAA. Campbell defeated Drexel at home in last year's CAA opener 57-54 with a last minute three-pointer from Jasin Sinani providing the difference.

Last Time Out
Campbell held on for a dramatic 104-96 win to hand William & Mary their first home loss of the year. DJ Smith led the way with 39 points, tied for seventh most by a Camel in the program's D1 history. Campbell's 104 points tie the program record for points against a D1 opponent in regulation, and set the record for points on the road.

Scouting the Dragons
Drexel brings a 12-11, 6-4 record into Thursday's game, but have been playing their best ball as of late winning six of their last seven games. The Dragons won Saturday's game on a buzzer beat to down NC A&T 61-60 in Philadelphia.

Shane Blakeney leads the Dragons with 13.3 ppg, the only player averaging double figures. The defense is the calling card for Drexel, allowing a league best 65.7 ppg, and only 60.1 in league play.

Drexel is coached by Zach Spiker in his 10th season with the program.

Looking Ahead
Campbell visits NC A&T Saturday at 2pm for the first meeting with the Aggies this year.
