MANHATTAN, Kan. - Led by strong performances from every player that stepped on the court, the Drake University men's basketball team opened its 2020-21 season with an impressive 80-70 win at Kansas State Wednesday afternoon.
Drake's biggest lead came in the waning seconds as the Bulldogs continually held off charges from Kansas State in a game where the lead switched hands eight times with neither team holding a double-digit lead until late.
"What I was most excited about was when we got hit with the run in the second half, there were times last year when we got hit with those runs, we tended to get down on ourselves a little bit," Drake head coach Darian DeVries said.
