— Drake Basketball (@DrakeBulldogsMB) March 9, 2025Drake’s victory over Bradley on Sunday afternoon was engineered by Ben McCollum, the highly regarded newcomer coach from Division II Northwest Missouri State, and Bennett Stirtz, the Player of the Year in the Missouri Valley conference.
GO DEEPER
Drake brought D-II stars to D-I, then started winning. Can it last?
McCollum was a legend at the lower level, winning four national championships, and he brought Stirtz and three other starters with him from NW Missouri. That core helped lay the foundation for such a massively successful season, and Stirtz shined brightly on the biggest stage yet. He poured in 24 points to go with four rebounds and four assists, completely controlling the tenor of the game from the point guard spot.
