Current Records: Nebraska Omaha 3-6; Drake 7-1
What to Know
The Nebraska Omaha Mavericks are 1-3 against the Drake Bulldogs since November of 2017, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Wednesday. The Mavericks will hit the road for the third straight game as they head to Knapp Center at 8 p.m. ET. Drake should still be riding high after a victory, while Nebraska Omaha will be looking to regain their footing.
Nebraska Omaha found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 75-45 punch to the gut against the North Texas Mean Green this past Saturday.
Meanwhile, Drake didn't have too much trouble with the Illinois-Chicago Flames at home this past Saturday as they won 77-64. It was another big night for Drake's guard Tucker DeVries, who had 25 points along with six rebounds.
The Mavericks have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 19-point spread they are up against. They hadn't treated fans well this season, but they at least enjoy a 6-3 record against the spread.
Nebraska Omaha is now 3-6 while the Bulldogs sit at 7-1. Drake is 5-1 after wins this season, and Nebraska Omaha is 2-3 after losses.
