The Drexel Dragons are going to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 25 years
from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy
There is nothing like the pure joy and excitement for a college basketball team that gets into the NCAA Tournament. It’s why they play. It is especially special when a team that hasn’t gotten there in a while gets to punch a ticket -- and that is where the Drexel Dragons come in. The Drexel men's basketball team won the Colonial Athletic Association title on Tuesday night, beating Elon in the conference final 63-56 and that earned the Dragons an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. This will be their first appearance in the tourney since 1996 when the Dragons advanced into the second round after upsetting Memphis in the opening round. Drexel head coach Zack Spiker joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about the challenges of getting through this season that was changed by the coronavirus pandemic, what this moment has been like, and what it means for the program.
