The 11th-seeded Drake Bulldogs pulled off a stunning upset against No. 6-ranked Missouri in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, winning 67-57. This historic victory marks Drake’s first win in the round of 64 since 1971 and its first appearance in the round of 32 since 1971.
SEC fans were left reeling after their conference team was beaten by a lower-seeded opponent. However, athletic director Brian Hardin took to social media to poke fun at the SEC’s slogan “It Just Means More.” He wrote: “First win in the round of 64 in school history… Some might say, “it just meant more!”
Drake coach Ben McCollum was confident throughout the game and expected his team to compete against Missouri. When asked about the victory, he said: “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t expect this. I brought winners with me.”
With their first-round win, Drake moves on to the second round in the West Region of the bracket, where they will face No. 3 seed Texas Tech.
