The Dragons Head Coach speaks Dragon with Nate and Dan.  From the transfer portal to NIL, a whirlwind of topics are covered, and the table is set for a productive summer in West Philadelphia (and Italy).  

Nate, Bill and Dan wrap up the season finales for the Drexel men and women, and turn the page to 22-23.  A discussion of the Portal, Cam Wynter and Xavier Bell, and why it is easier to figure out who is a Dragon right now than who isn't.  A Spiker outlook comes in and all in all...

Nate and Dan give their thoughts ahead of the CAA Women's Basketball Championship that will be hosted in the DAC this weekend.  Led by Hannah and Keishana, the defending champion Dragons walk in with six seniors and a number one seed as they set out to go back to back.

The guys also talk about the all tourney teams, and drop some hints around the men's programs offseason.  

It's tourney time at the DAC!  

Nate, Dan and Eric talk about end of season awards and the tourney to be.  Does it get better than a first round rivalry game with the conferences big dog on deck for round two?  

The guys preview the entire bracket and pick a winner next - actually each guy picked a different winner.

They then pivot over to talk about the Drexel Women's Basketball team that clinched the regular season title on Thursday night and looks to complete an undefeated season on the road today.  Undefeated in true road games but lost to teams at home?  Yeah, that comes up as well.
