Men’s Basketball to Host Coe in Season Opener

The Drake University men's basketball team is set to host Coe College on Tuesday Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. The game will be on broadcast on ESPN+ and Mediacom MC22. Tickets are available for purchase at draketix.com.

Prior to the game, Drake Athletics will be unveiling the team's NCAA Tournament banner from the 2020-2021 season. The Bulldogs recorded their first tournament win in 50 years and recorded the program's first appearance since 2008.

The 2020-21 season was nothing short of historic for Drake. On top of their NCAA Tournament Appearance, Drake also received a No. 25 ranking in February from the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and The Ferris Mowers Men's Basketball Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports Top 25, after an 18-0 start to last season.
