very winnable home game for the dogs. Good job by Drake Admin stepping up and getting a home game.

Can anyone confirm approximately $35,000 to host this home game?

North Dakota is #262 in kenpom's rating system (much better measure than the RPI). It is a game the Bulldogs should win.

Just to clarify....you mean opponents like ISU's opponents and not like ISU?

Bradley played and defeated North Dakota early in the season. North Dakota received an autobid for winning the Great West Tournament. The CIT reserves a slot for that league's champion.

Sounds like the Bulldogs will only have 8 scholarship players available for the game. Madison out for the season with stress fracture in back. Kraidon Woods out with hamstring injury, although he might be back for 2nd round game.....first DU needs to win their 1st round game.

Drake opens as a huge favorite - 13 points.

Drake wins 70-64 unimpressively. Rice in foul trouble throughout game but scores a point a minute when playing. Good thing UND is a hockey school. Simons had nice game and Clark was a monster.

Phelps contribution was a T.
