The Drexel Dragons look like they are out to prove that they were badly snubbed when they were denied an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament. They took the lead over a very respectable Central Florida Knights team less than 15 seconds into the game and slowly expanded that lead until the very end of the game. They were dominant, but nothing looked like it was an unrepeatable anomaly. They were simply the best version of themselves in an 81-56 win.
