The No. 25 Drake men's basketball team returns to the road this weekend for a two-game Missouri Valley Conference series at Valparaiso. The two-game set begins Saturday at 1 p.m. on ESPN3 followed by a Sunday contest at 1 p.m. on ESPN+.
The weekend series will be a homecoming for the five Bulldogs who hail from the area around Valparaiso, affectionately known as The Region. One of those Region natives, Tremell Murphy, leads the Bulldogs into the weekend after posting a career-high 30 points in just 27 minutes in the Bulldogs 95-60 drubbing of Illinois State.
