T.M. Selection: K-State (8* MONEY-MAKER).

Drake was 20-14 last year, includnig 8-10 in Missouri Valley Conference play. Liam Robbins lead the team in scoring and rebounding last year and he's since moved on, so Roman Penn is now the Bulldog's top player (12 points, 5.6 assists per game last season.) Overall Drake averaged 69.4 points per game and it allowed 67.7. The Wildcats are out for redemption this season after finishing 11-21 last year. The year prior they were 25-9. K-State averaged 64.2 points and it allowd 65 last season. The Wildcats have plenty of new faces as well, but there's plenty to build around, including 7-foot forward Davion Bradford. Drake is also just 3-7 ATS in its last ten non-conference road games as an undredog in the +4.5 to +7.5 points range, while K-State is 5-2 ATS in its last seven at home. Look for K-State's size to prove to be too much for teh Bulldogs to keep up with down the stretch and lay the points!

T.M. Prediction: 70-60 K-State.
