Betting Trends for vs
The Missouri Valley Conference has been stout this season as 8 of the 10 teams are 2 games or less from 1st place, and the Drake Bulldogs are a team who should be a competitor come March. The Bulldogs have been solid on the defensive side of the court this season as they are holding their opponents to an average of 65.8 PPG, and a huge reason for their success has been Liam Robbins who is averaging 2.7 BPG. The Sycamores are coming off a nice home win over the Bradley Braves, but the biggest concern has been for this team to have consistent scoring as they are only averaging 65.9 PPG in conference games. The Bulldogs will also look for Robbins to produce on the other side of the court as the Indiana State Sycamores doesn’t have a forward over 6’8, and they should find success as Robbins is averaging 16.3 PPG and 7.4 RPG over the last 8 games. Final Score Prediction, Drake Bulldogs win and cover ATS 73-68.
