MIT Simulator - NCAAB Friday Drake vs Bradley Winner
MIT Simulator Score - Bulldogs 75.90, Braves 62.59 - Projected Margin of Victory: 13.31 - Current Line: -1 - Variance to Line: 12.31 - MIT Simulator shows Edge Factor of 12.31 points. Value is a dozen points! Key factors noted: There is a common theory that it is tough to beat the same team three times in one season no matter the sport. While that theory may hold true at times, it is quite ironic in this particular case because the Braves beat the Bulldogs all 3 times last season (including in "Arch Madness" - the MVC conference tourney) and now this season Drake can return the favor! The Bulldogs got the better of Bradley in both regular season meetings and now can complete the trifecta with another win in the conference tourney. Drake will be helped by the fact that Braves guard Darrell Brown is dealing with a bad ankle and is listed as doubtful for this game. Also, Bradley is slumping into the post-season on a 2-5 SU and ATS run while Drake, prior to an upset loss versus Valparaiso, had an OT loss at Illinois State preceded by 3 straight wins SU and ATS. Net edge factors for Bulldogs equating to blowout victory by 13.31 points per MIT Simulator. Play: DRAKE
