What to Watch
Bradley looks to maintain momentum at home after a hard-fought victory over Indiana State in their previous contest. The Braves will rely on their balanced scoring attack and defensive tenacity as they take on one of the top offenses in the conference.
Key Players to Watch:
Drake brings a high-octane offensive system that averages 78.5 points per game. They will rely on their sharpshooting guard, Katie Dinnebier, who is averaging 20.3 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, and forward Anna Miller, who contributes heavily on both ends of the floor. The Bulldogs' ability to stretch the floor with their perimeter shooting will test Bradley's defensive rotations.
