The last time these two teams met was on Feb. 22. Illinois State won, 57-53, as 1 1/2-point home 'dogs.
Now the teams are facing each other again, but it's in the first round of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament at a neutral site in St. Louis at a venue known for having a tough shooting backdrop. 
Drake is averaging just 52 points in its last three games. Illinois State has held its last three foes to an average of 60 points in regulation. 
This is a defensive-minded conference so I have to believe this one is going to be as low-scoring as the last matchup.
