Drexel University Men's Basketball Schedule 2023-2024: What To Know
The Drexel men’s basketball team will be led this season by the CAA Preseason Player of the Year. Here’s a look at the Dragons’ 2023-2024 schedule.
The Drexel men’s basketball team is led by the Coastal Athletic Association Preseason Player of the Year, Amari Williams.
The senior forward is coming off an award-winning season that included averages of 13.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.23 blocks per game on the way to first-team All-CAA honors and a second consecutive CAA Defensive Player of the Year selection.
Williams helped the Dragons to a 17-15 record during the 2022-2023 season, which included a 10-8 mark in CAA play and a fifth-place finish in the conference standings.

The CAA coaches see the potential within the Drexel program, and the Dragons landed third in the 2023-2024 CAA Men’s Basketball Preseason Poll, including one No. 1 vote.
Sophomore guard Justin Moore, one of four returning starters for Drexel, earned a preseason honorable mention. Last year, he averaged 9.6 points and 3.1 assists for the Dragons.
The team is two years removed from winning the 2021 CAA Men’s Basketball Championship and returning to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 25 years. The improvement has come under the leadership of head coach Zach Spiker, who took over the top spot in March 2016.
Another new venture for Drexel this season will be the Dragons’ inclusion in the Big 5, a group of NCAA Division I basketball schools from the Philadelphia area that compete for a city collegiate championship.
The group now includes six teams—Drexel, La Salle, University of Pennsylvania, Saint Joseph’s, Temple and Villanova—but it’s really just an extension of what already was called the City 6, a separate intra-city intramural competition.
The Big 5 tradition dates back nearly 70 years. All six teams will compete in the Big 5 Classic in December.
Here’s a look at the Drexel men’s basketball schedule for the 2023-2024 season.
