Point Spread: 4.00 | -108.00 Indiana State (Home)
Result: Loss
#684 ASA PLAY ON 8* Indiana State +4 over Drake, Wednesday at 7 PM ET - This is a very dangerous game for the road favorite. Drake is in a prime letdown spot here as they are coming off a huge home win vs Loyola over the weekend and they have a game vs arch rival Northern Iowa on deck. ISU has lost 5 of their last but they’ve been very competitive with only 1 of those losses coming by more than 8 points (@ Bradley on Sunday – we were on the Braves!). Their win during that stretch was at home vs Missouri State who is rated as the 2nd best team in the MVC behind Loyola. ISU has played the toughest schedule in the league have already faced Loyola twice (ISU led Loyola for most of the game at home and lost), Bradley twice (won one and lost one), Missouri State (ISU won), Northern Iowa (ISU lost in OT), and Southern Illinois – all of the top teams in the conference. The Sycamores score points from beyond the arc than any other team in the conference and they shoot it very well from deep at home (almost 38%). That is Drake’s weak point on defense as they rank 8th in the MVC defending the arc. The Bulldogs also foul more than any team in the league so we expect Indiana State to be at the line a lot in this game where they hit 77% in conference play. Drake was the biggest money maker in college basketball last season with a ridiculous 20-5 ATS record during the regular season. Because of that, they have officially been overvalued this season with a 5-14 ATS record and they have covered just ONE of their last 10 road games. We like ISU to pull the upset here.
