Northeastern vs Drexel College Basketball Picks, Odds, Predictions 3/8/21

The Drexel Dragons and the Northeastern Huskies meet in a CAA conference tournament semi-final in college basketball action from the Atlantic Union Bank Center on Monday night.

The Drexel Dragons will look to build on their 80-75 upset win over Charleston on Sunday. Zach Walton led the way with 17 points on 6 of 10 shooting with 5 threes while Camryn Wynter added 16 points with a team-high 4 assists. T.J. Bickerstaff added 14 points on 5 of 10 shooting and James Butler chipped in 12 points on 5 of 7 with both Butler and Bickerstaff each logging a team-high 8 rebounds to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Drexel in the winning effort.

The Northeastern Huskies will look to add to their 63-47 win over William & Mary in their quarter-final matchup on Sunday. Tyson Walker led the Huskies with 19 points on 6 of 16 shooting with 5 rebounds and team-highs of 4 assists and 5 steals while Coleman Stucke and Jahmyl Telfort each had 13 points to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for Northeastern in the winning effort with both logging 5 rebounds and Stucke shooting 5 of 11 from the floor with 3 threes while Telfort shot 4 of 12 with a pair of triples. Chris Doherty added 9 points with 18 rebounds as well, just falling one point shy of a monstrous double-double.

Drexel is 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a win and 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. Northeastern is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 9-3 in their last 12 neutral site games.

The one is hard to call because we don’t have any head-to-head meetings in the regular season to go off of and the line almost feels right on. However, I think 131 is just a bit low for these two as we’ve seen both score and allow points into the high-60s and low-70s, and I could easily see both getting around there in this one in a game I see finishing around 140 so give me the over here.
