Saturday's clash represents the 63rd all-time meeting between the two sides with Drake owning a 48-14 advantage in the all-time series. The last matchup between the Aces and Bulldogs was a thriller with Drake ultimately capturing the 80-71 win in overtime inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse on March 3, 2022.

Drake enters the matchup with a 12-7 overall mark and a 7-4 record in conference play, most recently falling to UNI, 49-47, on a buzzer-beater on Wednesday night. The Bulldogs have been hampered by injuries this season, most notably a season-ending injury to Mega Meyer. Leading Drake this season is forward Maggie Bair, who is averaging a team-best 16 points and eight boards per game.

Evansville has already reached its most wins both overall and in conference play since the 2016-17 season and its 10 wins so far have earned the Aces their 25th season in program history with 10-or-more wins. The Aces are fresh-off an important 68-66 road victory over Indiana State that saw the team's top two scorers do just that with fifth-yeard guard Myia Clark leading the way with 21 points and senior guard/forward Abby Feit recording another double-double with 18 points and 10 assists.
