The Drake University men's basketball team returns to action this weekend with the fourth-annual edition of the Hy-Vee Big Four Classic against Iowa. Tipoff against the Hawkeyes is scheduled 3:30 p.m. on Saturday with the contest broadcast via ESPN3 from Wells Fargo Arena.
The Bulldogs have had the past week off from competition for final exams and are aiming to snap a three-game losing streak that has the team's record at 4-6 on the season. Iowa travels to Des Moines with a 7-3 record and is receiving votes in both polls this week.
Drake's defense will face an Iowa offense that enters Saturday's game ranked 36th nationally in scoring at 83.
