The Drake Bulldogs had won four straight before taking a 67-60 loss as a 2-point underdog at Illinois State on Sunday. They were in a position to win but will be very disappointed after allowing their opponent to run away with the game late.

The Bulldogs are 9-2-1 ATS home at Knapp Center on the season and look like a solid home favorite here against an Indiana State team that has covered the spread in back-to-back games but is just 1-6 ATS in its last seven games following a ATS win. The Sycamores are giving up 77.5 ppg on the road which is way above their season average overall.

Drake won the first meeting of the season by six points at Indiana State and is still the favorite to claim the MVC title despite its most recent defeat. I expect the Bulldogs to make the most of their motivational and home advantage here.

8* play on Drake Bulldogs.
