Panthers look to continue their roll on Thursday vs. Maryville
The Drury Panthers look for their fourth straight win on Thursday as they host the Maryville Saints at the O'Reilly Family Event Center.
 
Drury is 12-10, 6-5 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference and is coming off of a 65-59 win over Truman State on Saturday. Maryville is 8-12 and 3-8 in the GLVC. The Saints lost at home on Saturday to Rockhurst, 70-67, but have gone 2-2 since Jan. 19.
 
The Panthers have won 15 of the 16 meetings against Maryville in the all-time series and won last year's match-up 85-84 in St. Louis. The Saints only win against Drury came on Feb. 9, 2012, in St. Louis, 73-55. Maryville is 0-9 in program history at DU.
 
Drury enters Thursday's game ranked second in the GLVC in points allowed (67.5), and field goal defense (.435). The Panthers trail only third-ranked Bellarmine in both those categories.
 
The Panthers conclude their four-game homestand on Saturday when they host the University of Missouri-St. Louis in their annual Overflow the O' game. Tipoff is at 3 p.m. at the O'Reilly Family Event Center.
