Drexel at Rider
Drexel will come in with 6 returned players with a good double-double scorer in Samme Givens, plus a 10 + yrs coach. Rider had played 2 road games both loss, but last one to Pittsburgh Panthers 78-86 to a +22 ATS, their main player Anthony Myles whom sub in last minute. They had FG 53.6%, 10-23 3's at 43.5% a respectable effort on the road against a good rank team. Pittsburgh dominated the glass 40 to 16.
Last time these 2 teams played Drexel at Rider: 12/11/10 with 71-67 Drexel
Projected starting lineups:
Rider: G-Anthony Myles/Jon Thompson, G-Jeff Jones (Sr., 14.5 ppg), F-Novar Gadson (Sr., 12 ppg), F-Brandon Penn (Sr., 6 ppg), F- Danny Stewart (So., 11.5 ppg).
Drexel: G-Frantz Massenat (So.), G-Derrick Thomas (Jr.), F-Sammie Givens (Sr.), F-Daryl McCoy (Jr.).
current line: Drexel -3.5/Over 129.5, clearly this line reflected partly in their last game, plus Drexel traditionally has a good program and is a better team between the two.
This game can go either way but actually Rider Broncs will have a slight edge despite a short bench. The best play here is taking Over 129.5 points. Last year, they had defeated USC and TCU, and they have a good coach in Tommy Dempsey.
Both teams should shoot around 45-48% FG, Rider will be motivated by 2 road lost & look to improve further with poor rebounding & turn over, and playing at home will certainly help. We should see a scoring combination of 72-68.
