Drake Bulldogs Basketball Outlook for the Upcoming Season

The Drake Bulldogs face a pivotal season in men's basketball following the departure of head coach Ben McCollum and several key players to the University of Iowa. Last season, the Bulldogs achieved an impressive 31-4 record and claimed the MVC title, but with new head coach Eric Henderson at the helm, there are questions about how the team will adapt.

Despite these changes, Drake's history of successful rebuilds suggests they could remain competitive, potentially finishing in a strong position within the MVC. Their recruiting efforts have also added new talent, which, combined with returning players, aims to maintain their status as contenders. The Bulldogs' ability to navigate the challenges of the upcoming season will be crucial as they strive for another MVC championship. The team's focus will be on performance on the court, as they seek to prove their worth against formidable MVC opponents.
