<em>Basketball:</em> Drexel Visits UNC-Wilmington In CAA Tilt
WILMINGTON, N.C. (CBS) - Coming off Saturday's two-point win over William and Mary, the Drexel Dragons will be on the road Tuesday night, visiting UNC-Wilmington.
The Dragons are 17-8, and in fifth place in the CAA with a 9-6 record.
"I think we've actually gotten better defensively," says head coach Bruiser Flint. "But I think we've taken some steps back at times on the offensive end. I feel we played better offensively at the beginning of the year, but I think we've become a much, much better defensive team," he told KYW Newsradio.

UNC-Wilmington is 12-14 on the season, 6-9 in the CAA, and Flint says they are a tough match-up -- especially on their home floor, where they are 9-4.
"(Senior) Chad Tomko is one of the better players in our league, one of the best point guards," Flint says. "They shoot an unbelievable amount of three-pointers, so that is two teams in a row which we are going to play -- William and Mary shoots a lot of threes and now Wilmington shoots a lot of three-pointers. They pretty much play four guards, so it's a tough match-up for us."
This is the only match-up between these conference foes this season.
