Watching Drake host UNI

As is becoming our custom, Linda and I attended another Drake - UNI sporting event. This time, the Drake men's basketball team was hosting and looking to continue to extend a startling streak of sixteen consecutive wins. This year's team is having something of a fairy tale season and interest around the city is picking up. Couple that with the in-state rivalry and the tickets that were once pretty easy to pick up have become harder to secure. Fortunately, we got ours and were on site for what was another very entertaining, well played game.

The visiting Panthers led by four with 5:32 left in the game; unfortunately, they didn't make another basket. Drake scored nine while UNI made one free throw giving a final score of 58-54... and the streak continues!
