Navy loss an inside job
Drexel's Frank Elegar is the best big man in the CAA. Navy is a team that lacks a true presence in the post. Even Stevie Wonder could have seen where Sunday's Philly Classic matchup was heading.

Behind Elegar's 24-point, 14-rebound double-double, Drexel built an early 20-point lead and put away the Midshipmen 86-70. Elegar dished off assists on Drexel's first two scores. Then with the score tied at 4-4, he slammed back an offensive rebound to give Drexel the lead for good. The dunk was just Elegar getting started. He went on to score Drexel's next 7 points and had 13 by the time the teams went to the locker rooms at intermission with the Dragons boasting a 49-29 advantage.

Elegar was also a force at the defensive end, his four blocks contributing to a Drexel defensive effort that held Navy to a 26 for 71 (36.6 percent) night from the field. The Mids fired up 30 3-point tries, connecting on 9.

Drexel went 29 for 57 (50.9 percent) from the field, 5 for 16 at the arc, and had a huge advantage at the foul line. With Elegar leading the way 12-15 free throws), the Dragons went to the stripe 37 times, making 23. Navy only shot 15 foul shots, connecting on 9.

Chris Harris led the Mids with 16 points. Greg Sprink added 13 and grabbed 8 rebounds. Kaleo Kina and 6-10 freshman Mark Veazey each added 10 for Navy. Veazey was 5 for 7 from the floor, with 6 rebounds, 2 steals and a block in 21 minutes of action.
