Evansville at Drake

Drake will enter this game riding a 20-game winning streak, and has been the surprise of not only the MVC, but the country. They are off of a stretch of games that featured Creighton and Illinois State twice, and with wins in each of those games they pretty much closed out the MVC race. The Bulldogs have won consistently all year, but without fanfare - they are just getting it done. They have marched to a 12-0 mark in the MVC, and outside of Indiana State have not won any game by more than 11 points. It has been a struggle for the Purple Aces on the road as they are just 1-9, but they did play the Bulldogs to a three-point game at home, and we believe this will be another game where Drake comes away with a workman-like effort, but falls short of this lofty spread.
