Missouri State at Drake
8:00 PM Eastern
Drake was the preseason favorite to win the Missouri Valley Conference and the Bulldogs have not disappointed and they are on a three-game win streak after routing Bradley 86-61 on Saturday while shooting a blistering 56.1 percent and allowing just 38.3 percent. That came four days after the Bulldogs defeated UIC 76-71 in overtime and before that they beat Murray State 82-64 on Jan. 7. Drake has shot 51.2 percent its last three games and now it's in revenge mode after losing the first meeting this season 52-49 to Missouri State on New Year's Day. The Bears have lost two of three, but did manage to beat Indiana State 64-62 on Sunday after losing to Illinois State in overtime. Drake is led by Tucker DeVries, who averages 18.2 points, and the Bulldogs have six scorers who average between 7.9 and 9.9 points for balanced scoring. Take Drake on the moneyline.
