If you're not following the Missouri Valley Conference, lemme tell you that Drake is sitting at 23-2 and should have no problem with Bradley tonight. The Bulldogs have been a MONEY MACHINE, covering four in a row and 19 of 23 on the season. And one of the reasons is the YES man, guard Joseph Yesufu, who has bombed 88 points in his last three games. The Braves from Peoria have not played since February 18, and even when they do play, the stench is pervasive. They have lost 10 of the last 12 overall, and covered ONLY one of the last 12. So, YES, we're all over Drake. BOOK IT!
