DES MOINES, Iowa – Following a challenging week, the Drake men's basketball team welcomes Jackson State to the Knapp Center on Dec. 10 at 2 p.m. Saturday's game will be the Bulldogs' first under head coach Jeff Rutter, who assumed the reins of the program on Dec. 6 following Ray Giacoletti's resignation. The game will be broadcast live on Mediacom MC22/The Valley on ESPN3 as well as radio coverage provided by 1350 ESPN Des Moines.
Drake (1-7) looks to rebound after falling in overtime, 78-76, to Fresno State last Saturday. The Bulldogs used a 10-1 run in the second half to help overcome a 20-point deficit to force overtime.
