The Drake University men's basketball team plays its 10^th game in 22 days and second in a week against against UNI when the Bulldogs face the Panthers Wednesday evening in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
 
The Bulldogs make the trip after earning a 51-50 overtime win over No. 22 Loyola to record the program's first win over a ranked foe since 2013. The win was also the Bulldogs' 20^th to give them their third-consecutive 20-win season, something that had been previously accomplished just once in program history. It is also the program's eighth 20-win season.
 
In the first meeting between the two teams last Wednesday, Drake prevailed at the Knapp Center 80-59 to record the Bulldogs' biggest margin of victory between the two as MVC foes. Joseph Yesufu scored a career-high 18 points in that win while Tremell Murphy also posted an 18-point night as the Bulldogs shot 48 percent from the field.
 
Following Wednesday's midweek tilt, the Bulldogs return home to close out their home schedule with a two-game series against Evansville Feb. 21-22.
