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!
