Wichita State won the first meeting 67-47 on Dec. 31 with Ron Baker leading the Shockers with just 14 points as they took advantage of Drake's woeful .372 field goal percentage. The Shockers had their own bad shooting game on Saturday as they lost at Illinois State 58-53 as a 12-point favorite while shooting 35.2 percent overall and 22.2 percent from beyond the arc. The two leading scorers in this game for the Shockers barely made it into double figures with Baker and Shaquille Morris scoring 10 points each. Illinois State was actually worse, making just 15-of-55 field goals and it still won the game. Drake lost at Northern Iowa 82-66 with Reed Timmer scoring 18 points but the defense allowed the Panthers to shoot a whopping 61.8 percent. Wichita State is 2-5 ATS after a loss and this is a ton of points to lay on the road after such an awful performance on Saturday. Grab the big points and play Drake.
