The Drake University men's basketball team heads to Illinois State Wednesday evening with a three-game win streak in tow to begin the final week of Missouri Valley Conference action. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at Redbird Arena on The Valley on ESPN3.
Drake makes the annual trip to Normal, Ill., in search of a season sweep of the Redbirds after an 87-62 victory in the first meeting this season in the Knapp Center. Reigning MVC Player of the Week Reed Timmer (New Berlin, Wis.) scored 28 points in that game and is coming off a week in which he scored 59 points to earn league honors.
