Beating Drexel in the tournament is a sign of good things to come. The Dragons have played in four NCAA Tournaments — 1986, 1994, 1995 and 1996 — and three of the teams that beat them went on to the Final Four: Louisville in 1986, Oklahoma State in 1995 and the Orange in 1996. The Cardinals in 1986 won it all.
