I like the UNDER 123 for GA. St. & Drexel (3 units)

Drexel is again going to be without their big man Dartaye Ruffin for a 2nd consecutive game. Drexel looked awful on offense without him their last game against St. Joes, as he is their only big man who can do anything on the offensive end.

This hurts Drexel as now they have no inside presence to get the ball into and will rely on Damion Lee & Franz Massanet to do most of their scoring, which will be tough for them as Georgia St. runs a variety of zone defenses (matchup zone, 1-3-1, 2-3) to help defend their guards that like to drive to the basket. Also, with Ruffin out, Drexel now has a very short bench and will need their starters to stay out of foul trouble, which was a problem for them in their last game against St. Joes.

Georgia St., on the other hand, has always struggled to score on Drexel's athletic D, scoring 33, 46, & 44 in their last 3 games against Drexel (spanning to 2010).

Apparently Ruffin did dress and has played a few minutes off the bench, contrary to reports that he would sit out. He doesn't look good moving around though and I think his knee is still giving him problems.

Awful showing by Ga. St. on defense... They have been letting Drexel get easy drives and kick outs to open shooters all night long.
