Lady Bears head coach Kellie Harper banning Drake music ahead of first-place matchup with Drake

It might be in "God's Plan," but we definitely know it's not in Kellie Harper's plan to listen to Drake music leading up to Friday night.

The Lady Bears (11-7, 7-0) head coach said Thursday she is banning the Canadian rapper's music from her ears heading into a Missouri Valley Conference first-place showdown Friday against the MVC-undefeated Drake Bulldogs (15-4, 7-0) in Des Moines, Iowa.

"Everyone's really excited about the opportunity," Harper said. "Obviously, it's a big challenge that we're looking forward to. Our players have put ourselves in this position to make this a big game.
