Drexel opens hoops season vs. St. Joe's

The Dragons will try to bounce back after an 11-19 season.

DREXEL'S BASKETBALL team will open the 2015-16 season with its annual game against Saint Joseph's, on Nov. 13 at Hawk Hill.

That's one of three games against city schools. The Dragons are at La Salle Dec. 5 and host Penn on Dec. 22. They also play Penn State at the Palestra on Dec. 19.

The first home game is Nov. 18 against High Point. Their CAA opener is Dec. 31 at North Carolina-Wilmington.

The Dragons, who went 11-19 last season (9-9 CAA), are in the Great Alaska Shootout in Anchorage Nov. 26-28. Their first opponent will be North Carolina-Asheville. Then they'll get Middle Tennessee or Alaska-Anchorage. Others in the field are San Diego, Toledo, San Diego State and Loyola (Ill.).

They have a four-game home stretch in late Janauary-early February, sandwiched around a pair of three-game road trips.

They'll close with two home games, against Delaware Feb. 25 and Northeastern two days later. The CAA tournament is March 4-7 in Baltimore.
