NOTES: UND closes out nonconference play at Drake

Next Game: vs. Drake
The University of North Dakota men's basketball team will wrap-up nonconference play on Tuesday evening with a showdown against Drake from the Knapp Center at 6 p.m. Fans can watch the contest on ESPN+ (nationally) or on Mediacom (regionally) or tune into Paul Ralston's call on the Home of Economy Radio Network.

Series History vs. Drake
This will be the 11th all-time meeting between North Dakota and Drake, with the two teams splitting the previous 10 contests. North Dakota dominated the early portion of the series, claiming four of the first five games from 1925-1927, but Drake rattled off five straight victories before a UND win in 2014 in the most recent tilt. 

Heavy Hitters 
Despite figuring out the schedule in the middle of a global pandemic, UND has not shied away from taking on some tough opponents. Tuesday's contest against Drake will mark the fifth straight game against a team that is ranked inside the Mid-Major Top-25 (vs. South Dakota State, vs. North Dakota State, at Southern Illinois (x2), at Drake). 

Entering Monday, UND's non-conference opponents currently have a combined record of 36-19 (.655).
