It seems as though the Dragons are tired of playing a normal length college basketball game. After defeating Alabama in 3OTs last week, the Dragons played an eerily similar game and took Cleveland State to 3OTs in the 85-82 victory.
Drexel finished with four players scoring in double figures, with Tavon Allen leading the way with 23 points. Allen shot a poor 6-21 from the field, but made up for it with 9-11 from the free throw line and added 4 rebounds and 4 assists to his stat sheet. Massenat scored 21 and was one assist shy of a double-double. Even without veteran guard Damion Lee, the Dragons had some players take on additional responsibility and help lead the team to victory.
The Dragons are very deep at guard, with Tavon Allen, Frantz Masenat and Chris Fouch. But who could forget the Dragons' starting center Dartaye Ruffin, who had a monster performance with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Having Ruffin around their guards make Drexel the team they are. Drexel looks like a team who can not only make a run at a conference championship, but a round one victory in the NCAA tournament possibly. It seems like just wishful thinking, but with the way they kept pace with Arizona, you can't rule the Dragons out of the tournament yet.
