Premium Pick

The Drake Bulldogs won 28 game a year ago, and at 16-2 this season they are poised to best or duplicate that. Valpo is 10-9 on the season, and while they shoot just 43% from the field, they are a great free throw shooting team. The Beacons get to the line 22 times per game and connect on 79%. Drake is a slow-down offense, and they attempt a very low 51 shots per game. With a high line here and few shots, the Beacons should be able to hang around inside a big number. Drake has had trouble taking down big lines at home where hey are just 3-5 ATS on the season, and Valpo has played over the line at 9-6 ATS. When Valpo has come off a game as a dog and are playing on the road or a neutral site they are 14-2 ATS. Make the play on Valparaiso.
