Drake vs. Missouri preview
Gus Martin
Drake: The Bulldogs dominated the MVC with staunch defense and the offensive firepower of Bennett Stirtz (19.1 PPG). They enter with momentum but it’ll be interesting to see how it translates against higher competition.
Missouri: The Tigers enter the tournament having lost three of its last four games, but they can put up points with the best of them and will give Drake more size and athleticism than its used to.
