Drake @ Nebraska Omaha
Current Records: Drake 5-3; Nebraska Omaha 1-7
What to Know
After a two-game homestand, the Drake Bulldogs will be on the road. They will square off against the Nebraska Omaha Mavericks at 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Baxter Arena. The Bulldogs should still be feeling good after a victory, while Nebraska Omaha will be looking to regain their footing.
Drake was able to grind out a solid win over the St. Thomas (MN) Tommies on Sunday, winning 74-64.
Meanwhile, the game between the Mavericks and the Eastern Washington Eagles on Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Nebraska Omaha falling 92-81 at home, it was darn close to turning into one.
Drake is the favorite in this one, with an expected 20-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past six games, so buyers beware.
Everything went Drake’s way against Nebraska Omaha when the two teams previously met in December of last year as they made off with an 87-66 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulldogs since the team won’t have home-court advantage. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
