Drake is headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week's over/under low at 139.5, but even that wound up being too high. They took down SF Austin 66-51 on Sunday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Bulldogs.

Meanwhile, FGCU's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their fourth straight defeat dating back to last season. They took a 74-65 hit to the loss column at the hands of St. Bona.

Despite the loss, FGCU had strong showings from Zavian McLean, who went 7 for 10 en route to 16 points plus five rebounds, and Michael Duax, who scored six points along with five rebounds and four steals. McLean had some trouble finding his footing against TCU last Friday, so this was a step in the right direction.
