Drake athletics always shows up ready to compete, and in 2024, the men’s basketball team attempted to make history as it kicked off a new season with a brand new team. This season could mark a Missouri Valley Conference championship and March Madness three-peat that would stamp yet another season into the team’s history book.
Drake put this 2024-25 team into action with its first home game of the season against the NAIA York University Panthers on Nov. 4 at 6:30 p.m. in the Knapp Center, where the Des Moines home team was welcomed with a packed stadium.
