Going into the final week of the regular season with the Missouri Valley Conference tournament less than 20 days away, the Drake women’s basketball team has righted the ship.
The Bulldogs capped their regular-season home schedule with a 78-45 victory over the Bradley Braves to move into a tie for second place in the conference with Southern Illinois and Missouri State.
Accounting for tiebreakers, it’s unlikely Drake (19-8, 12-4 MVC) will catch first-place UNI, who leads the standings by a game, but the final two contests — including the finale against SIU — will still determine Drake’s seed in the tournament.
