Under The Radar Game of the Day – Tuesday, November 7th

Drexel (0-0) at La Salle (0-0) – 6:30 PM ET (ESPN+)

Technically, the Atlantic 10 is above the radar for the time being. However we will bend the rules for tonight’s matchup since this is the first year that Philadelphia’s Big 5 series has been modified to add Drexel to the rotation. The Dragons are led by CAA Preseason Player of the Year Amari Williams; Williams is a 2-time Defensive Player of the Year in the conference. In addition to 13.7 points a game, Williams also averaged 8.8 rebounds a game and 2.23 blocks per game.

The Explorers are coming off of a season where they advanced to the Atlantic 10 Quarterfinal Round in the conference tournament with victories against Rhode Island and Duquesne before falling to Fordham. Khalil Brantley led La Salle with 14.3 points per game and 4.1 steals per game. After tonight’s game, both teams will play Temple in their Big 5 “pod”. Their final Big 5 game to be played in the Wells Fargo Center will be determined by their standings in this 3-team pod.
