Drake takes a share of the Missouri Valley Conference lead into Saturday’s game at home against Evansville. The Bulldogs are 6-1 in the Valley. The Aces are 2-5 but leading scorer Ben Humrichous (hum-rick-house) returned from injury in this week’s win over Valparaiso.

That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries. A key for the Bulldogs has been efficiency on offense. They lead the Valley at better than 51 percent from the field and also average a league low seven turnovers per game.
