The No. 11 Drake Bulldogs pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday, defeating No. 6 Missouri 67–57. The Bulldogs held control for much of the game and maintained the lead to earn their first NCAA Tournament victory in over 50 years since 1971.
The underdog Drake, members of the Missouri Valley Conference, defeated not only a team with the higher seed, but a power-four school. Drake fans in the Wichita, Kans. crowd ensured they made it known, chanting "overrated SEC" in the waning seconds of the game.
