Can anyone stop Drake at the Missouri Valley Conference women's basketball tournament?
The Bulldogs have been dominant in recent years, participating in five of the last six tournament championship games and walking away with the trophy three times in that stretch. They defeated Belmont, 89-71, in last year's title matchup.
This season, Drake earned the No. 1 seed in the MVC tournament bracket after dropping just one game in their 20-game conference slate. The Bulldogs lost to Illinois State back in late January, 79-70.
Drake was the last team to win back-to-back MVC titles (2017 and 2018). We will soon find out if the Bulldogs can once again pull off this impressive feat.
