Drake will be looking to post an upset Friday night when the Bulldogs play 16th ranked Miami in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament in Albany, New York. The combination of senior point guard Roman Penn and sophomore forward Tucker DeVries have led the Bulldogs to 13 wins in their last 14 games.

That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries. Miami standout forward Norchad Omier is questionable with an injured ankle suffered in the ACC Tournament.

Drake has an experienced team and several were part of an NCAA Tournament team two years ago.

That’s senior forward Garrett Sturtz who says the Bulldogs need to play well on both ends of the court.
