It looks like Belmont got the smaller half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner. They have to be aching after a bruising 83-53 loss to the LSU Tigers on Monday. Belmont’s defeat came about despite a quality game from Will Richard, who had 16 points in addition to five boards.
Meanwhile, Drake sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 73-70 win over the Richmond Spiders this past Saturday. Four players on Drake scored in the double digits: Tremell Murphy (18), Roman Penn (12), Tucker DeVries (11), and D.J. Wilkins (10).
Belmont is now 3-2 while the Bulldogs sit at 3-0. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Bruins are stumbling into the contest with the 42nd most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 77 on average. Drake’s offense has more to brag about, as they they come into the game boasting the 29th most points per game in college basketball at 86.3.
