The Dragons, led by 3rd year head coach Ralph Chase, played their home games at Curtis Hall Gym and were members of the Southern division of the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC). During the end of the 1948–49 season, a new playoff system was implemented for the conference where the top 4 teams in the league standings would play in a tournament at the conclusion of the season. In the first round, the 1st seed would play against the 3rd seed, and the 2nd seed would play against the 4th seed. Following the tournament, if there was a tie between two teams leading the standings, a one game tiebreaker would be played to determine the league champion.Walt Ellman Lost in the Locker Room https://services.library.drexel.edu/static_files/triangle/Drexel-Triangle_1949-02-25.pdf The Triangle 27 June 2017 5 English 25 February 1949 Roster 1948 Drexel Dragons y yes m Stan Laskus 6 F John Bartram HS John Savchak 11 F John Bartram HS Bill Banks F Basil Barno C 6 3 Donald Breder C Bob Brewton F Central HS (PA) Adam Jablonski C 6 4 Fr Saint Joseph's Prep Sid Kane F Northeast HS (PA) Alfred MacCart G Fr John Bartram HS Jules Schwab G Jr Joe Skurla G Allentown HS Roy Wagner C Vincent Filliben Morton Shafter Ralph Chase (University of Pittsburgh) Bud Bossick (Muhlenberg College) Schedule Winter Sports-1949 https://services.library.drexel.edu/static_files/triangle/Drexel-Triangle_1949-01-14.pdf The Triangle 27 June 2017 5 English 14 January 1949 yes yes yes yes yes |- !colspan=9 style="background:#F8B800; color:#002663;"| Regular season |- January 5, 1949 yes 1948–49 men University of the Sciences Devils University of the Sciences Philadelphia Pharmacy 85–45 1–0 Tied 17 Curtis Hall Gym Philadelphia, PA January 7, 1949 yes yes 1948–49 men Stevens Ducks Stevens Institute of Technology Stevens Tech 42–39 2–0 Schwab 12 January 12, 1949 yes yes 1948–49 men Lehigh Mountain Hawks Lehigh University Lehigh 48–58 2–1 MacCart 18 Bethlehem, PA January 15, 1949 yes 1948–49 men Franklin & Marshall Diplomats Franklin & Marshall College Franklin & Marshall 75–50 3–1 MacCart 16 Curtis Hall Gym Philadelphia, PA January 19, 1949 no 1948–49 men Haverford Fords Haverford College Haverford 55–39 4–1 1–0 Tied 12 Curtis Hall Gym Philadelphia, PA January 22, 1949 no 1948–49 men Pennsylvania Military Cadets Widener University Pennsylvania Military College 56–67 4–2 1–1 Savchak 18 Curtis Hall Gym Philadelphia, PA February 2, 1949 yes yes 1948–49 men Philadelphia Rams Philadelphia University Philadelphia Textile 76–58 5–2 Schwab 23 Saint Joseph's Prep Philadelphia, PA February 6, 1949 no yes 1948–49 men Swarthmore Garnet Swarthmore College Swarthmore 51–43 6–2 2–1 Jablonski 21 Lamb-Miller Field House Swarthmore, PA February 9, 1949 no 1948–49 men Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens Delaware University Delaware 68–56 7–2 3–1 MacCart 18 Curtis Hall Gym Philadelphia, PA February 12, 1949 no yes 1948–49 men Ursinus Bears Ursinus College Ursinus 75–61 8–2 4–1 MacCart 23 Collegeville, PA February 14, 1949 yes 1948–49 men Moravian Greyhounds Moravian College Moravian 81–63 9–2 Jablonski 18 Curtis Hall Gym Philadelphia, PA February 19, 1949 no yes Haverford 61–54 10–2 5–1 Jablonski 18 Ryan Gym Haverford, PA February 23, 1949 no Swarthmore 57–59 10–3 5–2 Tied 14 Curtis Hall Gym Philadelphia, PA February 26, 1949 no yes Delaware 58–53 11–3 6–2 Newark, DE March 2, 1949 no yes Pennsylvania Military College 53–63 11–4 6–3 Jablonski 18 March 5, 1949 no Ursinus 69–66 12–4 7–3 Schwab 18 Curtis Hall Gym Philadelphia, PA yes AP Eastern Time References Category:Drexel Dragons men's basketball seasons Drexel Category:1948 in sports in Pennsylvania Category:1949 in sports in Pennsylvania Category:Long stubs with short prose
