The Drake University men's basketball team makes its annual visit to Springfield, Mo., to face Missouri State Sunday afternoon on ESPNU. Tipoff is set for 3 p.m. at JQH Arena.
The Bulldogs take a two-game Missouri Valley Conference win streak to Springfield in search of a season-sweep of the Bears. Earlier this season, Drake (15-13, 9-6 MVC) defeated Missouri State (17-11, 7-8 MVC) 61-58 in the Knapp Center. Reed Timmer (New Berlin, Wis.) scored 24 points in that win while the defense held Missouri State's Alize Johnson, the MVC Preseason Player of the Year, without a field goal and to just two points in the win.
