<em>College Basketball:</em> Drexel Welcomes JMU to the DAC

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Drexel looks to improve on its 16-7 record on Wednesday night as they host James Madison University.

The Dragons have won three straight games, and head coach Bruiser Flint says he likes what he is seeing from his team these days.

"All year we've played pretty good defense and rebounded the ball, but we've at times gotten out of rhythm in terms of our offense," Flint told KYW Newsradio on Tuesday.   "So, offensively, we've played a little bit better.  We know that's going to be the key to us whether or not we continue to play well."

Drexel will be looking for a bit of revenge after losing at JMU, 60-52, on January 26th, and Flint says his team's solid defense will be tested against the Dukes.

"They are very good on offense, so they are probably the best offensive team in the league.  So we've got to be on the top of our game as far as how we're going to play defense," he said.

Flint also says ball security will be a key:  "Can't throw the ball away.  I thought the last time we played them we had too many turnovers for layups, and they capitalized on them."

Drexel is 8-5 in the CAA.  James Madison is 17-8 overall, 7-6 in the CAA.
