Drake is coming into this game with a 30-3 record this season and they were 17-3 in their conference. They dominated their conference all year and have been very hot recently as they have won their last 7 straight games. They were 10-0 in non-conference games and have 3 wins against power conference teams, even going 1-0 against the SEC with an 81-70 win against Vanderbilt, but their other 2 wins came against the worst ACC team in Miami and one of the worst Big 12 teams in Kansas State. Drake has dominated all season, but they are still in the 1st season with this head coach and this roster is filled with players coming up from Division II so this is not the same team that has made runs in the tournament the last few years. They are going up against a Missouri team that is 22-11 this season and they were 10-8 in their conference. They have not been playing well recently as they have lost 4 of their last 5 games and ended the season on a bad note, but they still finished over .500 in the best conference in the country and they were great in their non-conference schedule as well. They were 11-2 in the non-conference with 1 loss being on the road against a ranked Memphis team and the other being a 3 point loss at a neutral location against Illinois who has had some very good games as well as some very bad games this season. They played 8 games this season against non-power conference teams and won all 8 games by 7+ points, winning 7 of those 8 games by 10+ points. Drake has no real advantage with their shooting in this game and they do not take a lot of shots either so they are going to struggle to keep up with Missouri team that has been shooting well and can score a lot of points. Missouri will cover the spread in this game.
