Drake has been a surprise team out of the MVC this year and a cover machine. They lost a few tough games down the stretch. This was without their best player Shanquan Hemphill. Hemphill is cleared to play in this game coming off a broken foot. Hemphill will add a nice spark to an already good Drake Bulldog team and lead them to a win and cover.
