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:

  • Soleil Barnes: The standout guard continues to lead the Braves with 15.5 points per game and a knack for delivering clutch moments from beyond the arc.

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.

About the Braves

Bradley (8-6) is coming off a gritty 65-52 win over Indiana State. In that game, Barnes led the way with 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist, while Kaylen Nelson added 11 points and 5 rebounds. The Braves' ability to lock down defensively in the final minutes has been a hallmark of their success this season.

About the Bulldogs

Drake (9-5) enters the contest on a three-game win streak, with their latest victory being a dominant 82-64 showing against Valparaiso. Katie Dinnebier led the Bulldogs with 31 points and 5 rebounds, while Miller chipped in 12 points and 8 rebounds.
