DES MOINES, Iowa – Fueled by a raucous crowd and generations of former players, the Drake University men's basketball team defeated visiting UNI, 83-77, Saturday afternoon at the Knapp Center.
The win, in front of a crowd of 5,632, was the Bulldogs' 18th of the season to equal the 2011-12 team for the most wins in the last decade. At halftime of the game, the Bulldogs honored former players as part of Legends Weekend, including the 1969 Final Four team. To further commemorate the 50th anniversary of that historic season, the Bulldogs wore jerseys modeled off those worn by the 1969 team.
