SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The Drake University women's basketball team visits No. 25 Missouri State for a two-game Missouri Valley Conference series on Friday and Saturday. Tipoff Friday at JQH Arena is set for 7 p.m. while Saturday's game will start at 5 p.m. Both games will be streamed on ESPN+.
Drake (7-6, 5-1 MVC) is coming off its second-straight series sweep after two big home wins over Indiana State last weekend. The Bulldogs blitzed the Sycamores with a combination of offense and defense. Drake scored 90 or more points in consecutive games for the second time this season while its defense was impressive, holding Indiana State to just 40 points in the opener, including just three points in the second quarter.
