Men’s College Basketball Viewing Guide: Wednesday, January 8, 2025--Blogging the Bracket
MVC
(77) Drake at (75) Bradley, 7 (CBSSN)
The Bulldogs’ at-large chances are all but gone following consecutive losses to UIC and Murray State. So, this contest is reduced to the first of two potential Arch Madness final previews. (Drake will host Bradley one month before Selection Sunday.)
This game also illustrates one of my issues with the NET and how quadrants are too heavily weighted toward road wins. Since the Braves are in the top 75 (barely), a win tonight could be a Quad 1 victory for the Bulldogs. However, only home games against the top 75 fall under Quads 1 and 2. So, a Bradley win over Drake—currently two spots lower—is only a Quad 3 win.

NEWS AND NOTES:
-Drake, who had dropped two straight, rebounded in a big way with a 64-57 road win at Bradley. The road to landing inside the bubble is still very narrow for Drake, but last night’s win was one they should get a lot of credit for considering how good Bradley is and that it was a road game.
