Drake hasn’t won a game at SIU in its last 11 tries. Hopefully Drake can continue their winning ways and snap that losing streak. The game starts at 8:05 Eastern Time. Southern Illinois is only a year removed from the big dance, and although this is a down year for them, they are a very good team. Drake will have work hard to beat them on their home court. The key to the game for Drake will to keep Faulker from scoring. If they can stop him again they will have a very good chance of winning this game. Go Bulldogs!

The Drake Bulldogs (20-1, 11-0) are holding a three-game edge over the Illinois State Redbirds (16-6, 8-3). With a win over the Redbirds, Drake would enjoy a four game lead over the second place team, and a strangle hold on the conference with just six conference games yet to play.

With continued solid play from Josh Young and Adam Emmenecker Drake should have a good chance of winning this game. The Redbirds have yet to lose at home this year, and will put up a very strong effort. For Drake to really assert themselves, Klayton Korver will have to play like he did two weeks ago, rather than his poorer performances last week. Still I expect Drake to continue winning close games, and they should eventually be able to find a way to win this game.

It should be a good game with Drake going for 20 wins in a row, and Illinois State looking to stay undefeated at home. If you are in the game’s market area make sure to check it out. (Since I live in DC, I’ll be following the real time score boards at ESPN.com and CBS’s Sportsline website.) Go Bulldogs! Second longest win streak in the nation!
