DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University women's basketball team returns to the Knapp Center Friday night when it hosts Loyola in the team's Missouri Valley Conference home opener. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. and doors will open at 5 p.m. Fans can take advantage of the Starting $5 Hour from 5 to 6 p.m. with four concession items specially priced during that time with $1 hotdogs, small popcorns and 16 oz. soft drinks along with $2 slices of Papa John's pizza.
