Loyola Chicago @ Drake

Current Records: Loyola Chicago 16-3; Drake 15-6

What to Know

Get ready for a Missouri Valley battle as the Loyola Chicago Ramblers and the Drake Bulldogs will face off at 2 p.m. ET Sunday at Knapp Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with Drake winning the first 51-50 at home and Loyola Chicago taking the second 75-65.

The Ramblers didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the Southern Illinois Salukis this past Thursday, but they still walked away with a 44-39 win. Loyola Chicago's forward Chris Knight filled up the stat sheet, picking up 16 points along with five boards.

Meanwhile, Drake escaped with a win this past Wednesday against the Illinois State Redbirds by the margin of a single free throw, 89-88. Drake got their victory on the backs of several key players, and it was guard Garrett Sturtz out in front dropping a double-double on 14 points and 11 rebounds.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Loyola Chicago is expected to win a tight contest. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past three games.

The Ramblers beat the Bulldogs 75-65 when the two teams previously met in March of last year. Loyola Chicago's victory shoved Drake out of the playoffs, so they have a target on their back.
