Drake @ Bradley 2/15

Game on Fox Midwest. BU has clinched the 10 seed. DU absolutely needs a win to stay out of Thursday night.

Simons unlikely to play.

Taylor Brown and Simms-Edwards are a bit banged up but will play.

I think Drake wins by about 6 or 7.

Depends which Drake team shows up. Bulldogs, quite honestly, played very poorly against Bradley in Des Moines, but still managed to win the game. But, Bulldogs were at home and had Ben Simons.

Drake is a good matchup for Bradley in that it doesn't have a real strong inside presence. Although Woods killed Bradley last time and that was the difference. Without Simons neither team shoots the three real well--maybe the team who actually throws a few in wins this one.

I don't see this game being in the 50's.

Rice didn't start in Des Moines. Bradley opened up an early 11-3 lead, but after Rice came in, Drake pretty much took over. BU did make a run at it early in the 2nd half, but it was nominal.

Drake's only topped 60 points twice on the road in Valley play, one of those being an overtime game. They're also unlikely to shoot as well as they did Sunday, so I'm not predicting a high-scoring game.

Unfortunately, 8 minutes into the game, it's very painfully obvious which Drake team showed up.

what a pathetic early effort from the dogs tonight. embarassing lack of effort & hustle, what did these guys think, just show up and win?
