Lipscomb has already played one game, which ended in a 79-56 loss to Wichita State as 9.5-point underdogs on the road. The Bisons found themselves trailing by 13 points at halftime and were unable to recover, with a 9-of-37 shooting performance from beyond the arc.

Drake, on the other hand, is taking the court for the first time since their heartbreaking defeat to Miami in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. The Bulldogs are coming off a strong 27-8 season, during which they secured the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament title.

In the previous season, Drake had a 5-6 record against the spread (ATS) when favored by double digits, and just three of those wins were by a margin of 15 points or more. The team boasts Tucker DeVries, last season’s MVC Player of the Year, who averaged 19.0 points per game. However, only DeVries and one other starter return from the previous season, with three players who collectively contributed nearly 30 points per game no longer on the roster.

After a lackluster performance in their opener against Wichita State, Lipscomb is expected to put up a stronger showing tonight, particularly considering the substantial number of points they’ll receive on the road.

Pick: Lipscomb +16
