Indiana State's been on fire. I think they're a different team on the road, however. As for Drake, I've seen them a few times this year now. They're extremely young, but very talented. They're definitely an up and coming team in the valley if Rice sticks around. Teams are pretty even, Drake might be a bit better defensively.

Nropp what do you think about Drake -2 over Indiana St? Indiana St has only won 1 game on the road this year.

Just a weird game, hard to say what's gonna happen. Kelly's been out for a while now, and they've been shooting the ball extremely well without Lathan (i think he's missed two games before this one). I think there are two things present that need to be addressed before investing in the game. One, will Indiana state continue to shoot it from long distance at a high percentage (can't answer it being on the road). And Two, can Indiana State carry the momentum with them on the road.

I couldn't answer either one. GL with whatever you decide.

I have been "riding" Rider most of the year, and it would be really hard taking them against one of my favorite teams to bet on last year, Canisius... but I think they cover the 3 point line. I don't think Canisius is that good this year, theyve had alot of bad losses and they may be flat after their first great game, edging Siena by 1 (I had CAN -2 and lost). Like the Bradley play. NRopp.... even though every time I've taken them I've lost this year. BOL, bounce back buddy

I always stop in for a look at your picks NROPP, good write ups as always.

I follow the MVC fairly closely and I highly agree with the Bradley pick. The way UNI plays, it's really hard for them to get to a lead of more than 10pts. They don't have any type of consistent inside scoring this year, and Ahelegbe (their PG) hasn't had the type of offensive year everyone was expecting.

I fully expect a UNI win today, but unless they shoot 60%, they won't win by 13.
