The Panthers have won 22 straight games and battle Metropolitan State (Denver) at 3:00 p.m. The two teams play in Phillips Arena (home of the Hawks).
Drury is in the NCAA tournament for the eighth time and won their semi-final game over defending champion Western Washington 107-97. In that win Great Lakes Valley Player of the Year Alex Hall scored 35 points. Hall was recently named to the NABC’s all-american team.

I haven't heard, nor do I know, how does this apply to the typical 'foreign' basketball player that is most often over 19?
Obviously, this is a sentimental and not a ‘spreadsheet’ notion, but would hate to see @MVCsports change the #ArchMadness format from the traditional ‘family reunion’ feel by cutting teams from the experience. #FatherHarry
Another nice @MVCsports basketball schedule announcement. #FatherHarry . .
Congrats to @ISURedbirdGolf. T.J. Barger sets a school record. Pietro Pontiggia records the Redbirds' second-ever top 20 finish at a regional. The team finishes tent in the region which is tied for the program's best regional finish! #FatherHarry
