Drexel -5 vs. NC State
Game Time: 3/13/2007 8:00:00 PM

Look for the Drexel Dragons to prove the NCAA Committee wrong tonight by thumping a quality ACC opponent in the NC State Wolfpack.
Say what you will, but Drexel was snubbed by the NCAA Committee and should be playing in the NCAA Tournament.
The Dragons had a number of solid wins this season, as victories at Creighton, St. Joe's, Syracuse and Villanova should have been enough. Instead, they will just have to accept the same NIT fate as Hofstra from a year ago. Now many will expect that with all the snub talk, they will have forgotten about their game tonight with the Wolfpack. I completely beg to differ as Head Coach Flint will have his men ready, and Mason, Mejia, and Elegar are going to have huge games against this North Carolina State squad that has played a ton of basketball in the last five days against tough ACC competition. They Pack should be worn down, and not even Coach Lowe's red blazer will save them from the fate they are about to be handed.
The Dragons did not have a great record against the spread at home this season, but that is because they had to lay some obscene amounts of chalk. That is not the case here with this very manageable line, so lay the chalk and look for the ultra-motivated Dragons move on
Pick: Drexel -5
