The Drake University men's basketball team takes its three-game road win streak to Loyola for a Tuesday evening contest at Gentile Arena. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. before a national television audience on CBS Sports Network.
 
Drake has won three-straight road games and five of its last six overall contests. The Bulldogs are 5-3 on the road this season and 3-2 in MVC road games.
 
The Bulldogs' 17 wins to date equal last year's total and are the program's most wins since the 2011-12 team won 18 games. Drake picked up its 17th win by going on an 11-3 run to win at Indiana State, 68-62.
 
Senior Nick McGlynn is averaging 15.5 points and 9.4 rebounds per game in MVC action to lead the league in rebounding and rank fifth in scoring in league games. He has had five double-doubles in 10 conference games including a 12-point, 13-rebound performance in the win over Indiana State.
 
Brady Ellingson led the Bulldogs in that win with 16 points as he continues to lead the league in three-point shooting in league action by shooting 30-of-56 from the arc (.536).
 
In the first meeting between Loyola and Drake, both teams came out firing with the Bulldogs making their first 10 shots from the field. The teams combined for 86 first-half points on 64 percent shooting. However, Loyola continued to convert in the second half to win in Des Moines, 85-74.
 
Following Tuesday's road game, the Bulldogs return home to host UNI, Feb. 9, at 5 p.m. The game will be the Bulldogs' annual Legends Weekend with former players returning to campus, including members of the 1969 Final Four team to celebrate the 50th anniversary of that historic run.
