Three point defense has been a focus for the Drake men as they get ready for Tuesday night’s visit to Missouri Valley leader Belmont. The Bulldogs have given up 28 three pointers in their last two games and Belmont leads the Valley from behind the arch by averaging 10 threes per contest.

Seven-foot senior Isaiah Carr has provided a spark for a Drake team that is looking for more punch off the bench. Carr had five blacked shots in Saturday’s loss to Bradley.

Drake is 6-6 in the Valley.
