Philadelphia: We come to the end of the first week of the College Basketball season & so far there are still a good amount of questions that need to be asked about how the teams look & on Saturday we saw the Drexel Dragons take on Colgate Raiders from Daskalakis Athletic Center on the campus of Drexel University. The Dragons came into the game off a dominating win over Georgian Court in the season opener on Monday.

How the game went:
The Dragons would jump out to the fast lead by scoring the game’s first 10 points before Colgate even got on the board & The Dragons would play good defense and at one point Colgate just did not know what hit them
Defense ➡️ Offense

There would be 3 separate times where the Dragons would get the lead as high as 14 with the last one being 28-14 with 9:05 left. Kobe MaGee would have himself a first half to remember as he would go 5-7 from 3 PT range. Drexel would take a 42-32 lead into halftime.
Going into the second what could Colgate do to get back into the game or could Drexel keep the pressure up on the Raiders & continued to make things hard for the Raiders.

Colgate would try to cut into the Dragon’s lead and had it down to 7 at 52-45 with 12:07 before Drexel would wake up and put their foot on the pedal and got it up to as high as 15 at 66-51 with 4:58 left & Colgate just did not have enough to get the lead under single digits.
Drexel Kobe MaGee would put the icing on the game with 3 pointer as the shot clock would expire
