THE BASICS
Four seniors will play their final game in the Knapp Center as Drake closes out the home campaign, hosting Southern Illinois.
Assured no worse than a fourth-place finish, Drake is seeking to post back-to-back 13-plus wins in the Missouri Valley Conference for the first time since 1969 and 1970.
The Bulldogs closed out the road campaign with a 71- 65 victory at Valparaiso Wednesday, posting an MVC best 7-2 road record.
It was a special homecoming for four players from The Region (northwest Indiana) who combined for 47 of Drake's 71 points in the victory at Valparaiso.
