Drake has lost 5 in a row, to some tough competition, but did play well losing in OT to SW Missouri St last time out. Northern Iowa struggled to beat a 1-10 Illinois State team in their last game. N Iowa won both meetings last year so it's a big revenge game for Drake. Luke McDonald, and J.J. Sola, should cause matchup problems for N Iowa. They average over 30ppg I believe. N Iowa is a bit small. I just think Drake gets their first conference win today at home over a bitter rival.
