What to Know

The Drake Bulldogs have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Richmond Spiders at 1 p.m. ET Nov. 20 at Knapp Center. These two teams have set a high bar for this game after stand-out offensive performances in their previous games.

Drake entered their contest on Sunday as the heavy favorite, and they fully lived up to expectations. They were completely in charge, breezing past the South Dakota Coyotes 99-50 at home.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between Richmond and the Georgia State Panthers on Tuesday was still a pretty decisive one as the Spiders wrapped it up with a 94-78 victory at home.

The wins brought the Bulldogs up to 2-0 and Richmond to 2-1. Two last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Drake ranks 13th in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 48.30% on the season. Less enviably, Richmond has allowed their opponents to shoot 46.40% from the floor on average, which is the 42nd highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against the Spiders.
