Illinois State's basketball team makes its first road trip of the season to Philadelphia where it will meet Drexel in a nonconference game at 6 o'clock tonight. 

The Dragons, who are picked to win the Colonial Athletic Association, are looking for their first win after suffering an opening-season loss at Kent State, 66-62, in overtime.

Tonight's pre-game show, hosted by Paul Morello, begins at 5 and can be heard on WJBC 1230 AM, 93.7 FM and on the Country Financial Illinois State Radio Network.
