This just jumped on my radar as Drake has ruled out star Tucker DeVries with some sort of elbow infection. He averages 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game. As it is, the Bulldogs are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games. Belmont is 4-1 ATS in its past five at home.

Drake has been shooting 91.9 percent from the free-throw line over their last three games. However, the Bulldogs shooting percentage is 43 percent on the road. Belmont shoots 42.4 percent from beyond the arc and 51.8 percent from the floor at home. Drake does have a defensive and experience edge, but the Bruins defense have been holding opponents to less than 67 points at home and are 9-2 at Curb this season. I’m on Belmont.
