DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake men's basketball team opened its 2017-18 season with a dominant 101-54 win over Coe College Saturday afternoon in the Knapp Center.
In the first game under the direction of head coach Niko Medved, the Bulldogs finished just one shy of the school record for three-pointers by hitting 16 in the 47-point win. Drake shot 57.1 percent (16-of-28) from beyond the arc and 33-of-56 from the floor (58.9) percent, while six Bulldogs scored in the double-digits.
"The guys came out and did what they needed to do today," Medved said.
