Drake suffered a single loss dating back to January 8. The Bulldogs are locked into the field of 68 through their Missouri Valley Conference tournament title. A strong argument would have been made to include them as an at-large team if they fell to the Bradley Braves on Sunday. Drake was a popular sleeper pick a year ago, but it fell short in the opening round as a No.

The Bulldogs are locked into the field of 68 through their Missouri Valley Conference tournament title. A strong argument would have been made to include them as an at-large team if they fell to the Bradley Braves on Sunday.
Drake was a popular sleeper pick a year ago, but it fell short in the opening round as a No. 10 seed against the Washington State Cougars.
Drake is currently projected to land a similar seed, as Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller has it as a 10 seed.
However, that is the only similarity between last year’s Drake team and this year’s version.
First-year head coach Ben McCollum brought over four players from Division II Northwest Missouri State, where he won four national titles.
