DES MOINES — Under Darian DeVries, Drake has become a consistent Missouri Valley Conference contender and hopes are high for the upcoming season. The Bulldogs return nearly the entire roster from last year’s team that finished 26-5 and claimed the program’s first NCAA Tournament victory in 50 years.

DeVries has led the Bulldogs to three straight 20 win seasons despite key injuries each year. Last season point guard Roman Penn and forward Tank Hemphill missed the stretch run due to foot injuries.

With a veteran team DeVries says the Bulldogs must guard against complacency.

DeVries says their recent success actually helped them put a competitive non-conference schedule together. The Bulldogs have games against Richmond, a Belmont team that joins the Valley next season as well as Clemson and St. Louis.

Drake opens with an exhibition against Drury on November 4th and will host Coe on November 9th in their regular season opener.
