Thanks for being my fact-checker, Mike. It is BU at ISU Wednesday.
It's been corrected.

The Drake/Murray State game should be entertaining as both teams like to get up and down the floor. The Braves need to stay focused on their game at ISU and take care of the task at hand. Only they can keep themselves from winning the conference. It would be nice to finally win a conference championship. It's been way too long.

One MVC game Tuesday, Feb. 7-

Drake at Murray State - 7 pm on ESPN+

Drake beating Murray State early 29-14 with 9 minutes left in the first half.
Drake shooting well, 10-15 overall, 5-5 from three. Murray throwing up a lot of bricks, so far.

Drake leads at the half 55-39. Not much defense being played by Murray St as they allowed Drake to shoot 19-30 overall, 8-12 from 3. Tucker DeVries had 22 points on 7-9 shooting overall, 4-5 from 3. Drake had just 2 turnovers and Murray St had just 1 but was only 5-15 from 3, 14-31 overall.

Wow. Drake certainly looking like the team to beat right now. Murray State never loses at home and Drake just destroyed them!

[Mikovio]

Drake did just barely escape Valpo and Murray State was coming off a walloping, but the Bulldogs did look very efficient against what seemed a poor Murray defensive effort.

[BUBraves2006]

How in the world in Missouri State 1.5 point favorites? Is somebody injured for Belmont? That line makes no sense.

How in the world in Missouri State 1.5 point favorites? Is somebody injured for Belmont? That line makes no sense.

Belmont 6-5 on the road, Missouri State 8-3 at home is most likely the reasoning.

[BUBraves2006]

Belmont 6-5 on the road, Missouri State 8-3 at home is most likely the reasoning.

Feels like your reference confirms the point even more - Belmont actually has a winning record on the road, which isn't easy in conference play. They've also won four of 5 on the road including beating us who were previously unbeaten at home.

Missouri State has lost 3 of 5 and the two wins were home squeakers to the two worst teams in the conference.

Vegas is usually smart on these things but the line just seems off.
