Drake men’s basketball sweeps past York University in Knapp Center opener

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.
