#624 ASA FREE PLAY ON Evansville +8.5 over Drake, Tuesday at 8 PM ET - The Aces are back to full strength and a dangerous home underdog in this spot. Evansville leading scorer Humrichous (15 PPG) finally returned from an injury and played a key role the last 3 games, 2 wins and a close loss @ Murray State. Prior to that the Aces played 8 of 9 games without him in the lineup. They are just 1-7 SU when Humrichous doesn’t play and they are 14-3 SU when he is in the lineup. They are catching Drake in the 2nd of back to back road games after upsetting Bradley on the road on Saturday. The Bulldogs were fully focused on that game which moved them into 2nd place in the MVC by themselves dropping Bradley to 3rd place. Drake has 3 conference losses with all 3 coming on the road. On top of that, the Bulldogs already crushed the Aces by 49 points at home earlier this year (Aces were without Humrichous) so a Drake flat spot becomes even more probable here as well as giving Evansville a little extra motivation. The Aces have a solid 10-2 SU record at home this season and they’ve outscored their opponents here by an average score of 79-67. Despite playing 8 games without their top player, Evansville continues to outperform the market with a 16-7-2 ATS record on the season. This game is eerily similar to last Wednesday when Evansville hosted Bradley as a big dog in nearly the same situation. Evansville won that game outright. Now getting nearly double digits at home we’ll be on them Tuesday night.
