The Dragons (23-5) have won 15 straight and 21 of 22. They had perfect offensive spacing while shooting 48.9 percent with just seven turnovers. They held CSU to 17-for-63 (27.0 percent). Big men Samme Givens and Daryl McCoy dominated the lane.
BEST FRESHMEN
If there had been a vote taken before the season about the city's best freshman, Drexel's Damion Lee may not have gotten a single vote. If the vote were taken today, he might get every vote but those reserved for La Salle's Jerrell Wright and Villanova's JayVaughn Pinkston. Lee got off early and finished with 18 points.
WHAT IT MEANS
The top six teams in the CAA went 6-0 on the weekend. VCU beat a good Northern Iowa team. George Mason and Old Dominion kept winning. This can't hurt Drexel's at-large chances, as the Dragons get set for their final two regular-season CAA games.
MAKING IT LOOK EASY
Temple (21-5, 10-2 Atlantic 10) shares it, shoots it and wins. The Owls overwhelmed Duquesne (15-11, 6-6) at the Liacouras Center, 78-59, by doing what they do. They shot 57.7 percent and 10-for-19 from the arc. On a rare bad shooting day from Ramone Moore, Khalif Wyatt (24) and Juan Fernandez (20) combined for 44. Moore, by the way, had eight assists. So even when he is not making baskets himself, he finds the players who are. You have to go to Columbia, Mo., to see guards that play any more seamlessly than Temple's.
WHAT IT MEANS
If Temple gets through this week (at La Salle, at Saint Joseph's), it is going to win the A-10 regular season and get the top seed in the tournament. And, if the Owls get through this week without a loss, they will zoom even farther up the NCAA seed list.
