Drexel-Delaware
Delaware Online
While Delaware has struggled on the road against Drexel in recent seasons, the Hens have won the last two and eight of the last nine against the Dragons in the Carpenter Center. However, Delaware could be without senior forward Harding Nana, who is questionable because of a high ankle sprain. Nana is second in the Colonial Athletic Association in scoring (19.3) and first in rebounds (10.7). Delaware is 6-17 overall and 2-12 in the CAA following Thursday night’s 70-54 loss at UNC-Wilmington. It was Delaware’s fourth straight loss. Drexel (13-12, 7-7) is coming off its most lopsided win of the year. The Dragons ended a four-game losing streak Thursday night in Philadelphia with a surprisingly easy 83-47 win over Northeastern.
East Carolina-UAB
Press Notes
East Carolina junior guard Japhet McNeil and sophomore forward Jonathan Hart have been suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team announced head coach Ricky Stokes on Monday. Neither will play in Saturday’s game against UAB in Birmingham. McNeil leads Conference USA in assists with 6.65 per game and ranked fifth in the latest NCAA statistics published on January 31. He has distributed 133 assists this season, which is an ECU single season record. McNeil had started 15 games this season, while averaging 4.9 points in 27 minutes per game. Hart was averaging 4.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 17 minutes of action per game this season and had started each of the past three games.
San Francisco-San Diego
Press Notes
USF (9-13, 5-4 WCC), will battle travel partner San Diego (15-7, 5-4) twice within three days, visiting the Toreros Saturday and hosting them Monday night. So far USF has split every weekend of WCC play winning once and losing once. (The Dons won their one single week contest.) This will be a very interesting weekend as USF faces the same opponent just two days apart. In WCC play, the Dons have by far the best turnover margin (+3.1) forcing 17.1 turnovers per contest while committing just 14.0. The next highest margin is LMU’s + 1.11. On the opposite side, USF is last in free-throw percentage (66.9%). USF is 2-3 in last five games. The Dons have been outscored 373-346 (74.6-69.2) and have shot just 41.6%.

The Waves are 1-10 on the road this season and have lost four straight away from Firestone Fieldhouse. Loyola Marymount begins play this week with a 10-13 overall mark and is in second place in the WCC with a 7-2 record.
