Drexel Arizona

Close game, and I can't figure out why. Drexel is completely outmatched. Drexel's big guys are stiffs, and they have only 3 guys on team that can score at all. Arizona should be crushing them. This is why they play the games.

Somehow Drexel had a 27-8 lead and blew it in the blink of an eye. Probably a good thing considering Arizona has a much better shot at beating Dook in the final.

I would not be surprised if Drexel loses by 12-15 at this point. I don't know how they got that lead in the first place.

I understand the Drexel bigs not having offensive skills, but you at least have to let them touch the ball during an offensive set to the defense to react. I didn't watch the entire game but from what I did see it didn't seem like they passed it into the post once.

Drexel stayed in the game by taking advantage of matchups in their favor. Playing Aaron Gordon (6'9" 230 lb player) as a three is a distinct disadvantage on the defensive end. Although he has freakish athleticism and is a better perimeter shooter than most players his size, he simply cannot stay with many college 3s if they have a good handle and quickness. This is Arizona and Kensucky's achilles heel.
