The Drake men prepare for a new challenge as they get ready for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in St. Louis. After rolling to the regular season title the Bulldogs take a 27-3 record into Friday’s quarterfinals. They will play the winner of Thursday’s game between Indiana State and Southern Illinois at Noon on Friday.

That’s Drake coach Ben McCollum who says it is a fresh start for all of the teams.

McCollum says for the Bulldogs the approach does not change.
