Drexcellent

I like our opening round draw; considering who the other #3 seeds are, we lucked out. By Pomeroy ranking:

Missouri St    41
DePaul         46
Michigan       49
Drexel         84

I understand the outrage over Drexel's exclusion from the NCAAs, because the Dragons' RPI was better than several of the at-large teams selected ahead of them. But are the Dragons actually better than any of those teams? No.

According to the Pomeroy Ratings, Drexel is the 20th-best team in the NIT. I'll have a preview up on Monday.
