ANALYSIS:
As an average to slightly above-average foe, Drake should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. They have a record of 20-14 and are ranked 165th overall (out of 353) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. Of the 10 schools in the MVC (average ranking 154.2), they're currently ranked as our #7 team in the conference.

Defensively, Drake finds itself in the lower half of our ratings. The team is ranked 184th in defensive efficiency, giving up more than 99 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Drake will fail to secure many opportunities to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #296 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 8.71 vs. AO.

Drake doesn't rate much better on offense than they do on defense. Scoring roughly 99 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #181 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Drake has some difficulty protecting the ball efficiently when in possession, which leads to some quick and easy baskets for the opposition. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 13.09, which ranks 314th in D1.

Drake has been one of the most erratic teams in college basketball this year (currently ranked 338th overall in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their future games far more difficult to predict.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
