The Drake University men's basketball team begins the next chapter in its historic season Friday when it starts play at the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament as the No. 2 seed. The Bulldogs earned the No. 2 seed after earning a share of the MVC regular-season title with a 23-8 overall record and a 12-6 league mark.
Drake will face either No. 7 Illinois State or No. 10 Evansville in its quarterfinal contest at 6 p.m. inside the newly renamed Enterprise Center. The Bulldogs are the No. 2 seed for the first time in program history.
The Bulldogs' 23 wins are the program's most since 2008 and the third most in program history to clinch a share of the league title.
