The Drake men’s basketball team has continued a streak of success over the last few seasons. One player paramount to that success has been rising junior Tucker DeVries. DeVries has played two seasons at Drake, and his impact has shown the Missouri Valley Conference that the Bulldogs are going to be fighting for the title every year.
DeVries finished the year averaging 18.6 points per game, 5.7 rebounds per game and a .373 3-point percentage in 34 games.
DeVries, along with a strong supporting cast of veteran players, led the Bulldogs to their first MVC title since 2008 and their second NCAA Tournament appearance in three seasons.
