Tonight we focus on a couple of mid major teams out of the Missouri Valley Conference as UNI 18-8 (12-3) welcomes Drake 15-12 (6-9) to the Mcleod Center in Cedar Falls, IA. UNI has struggled lately, losing 2 of 3 after stringing together 12 straight victories. Drake has yet to put together back to back conference victories since starting 3-0. They struggle on the road and have won twice in the last 30 days.
NIU is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games and 4-2 ATS in their last 6 at home. Those 2 games they didn't cover at home came against Illinois State and Creighton, both tied for second in the MVC right behind UNI. In the 4 games they did cover it was by an average of 13ppg.
Drake is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 and just not playing great basketball. Not too much more to say about them.
Take NIU -8 for the win. I predict a 75-61 victory for NIU.
