Drury opens road trip at Maryville
The Drury Panthers start a five-game road stretch on Thursday at Maryville. Tipoff is at 7:30 pm in St. Louis.
 
Drury is 9-4 and 2-3 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. The Panthers are coming off of an 83-62 win over Lindenwood on Saturday, a game that snapped a three-game losing streak.
 
Maryville is looking for their first league win as the Saints enter Thursday's game 4-8 with a 0-5 mark in the GLVC. Maryville has lost four straight, including a 65-48 loss on Saturday at Truman State in their last game.
 
Drury has won 17 of the 19 meetings all-time and swept the season series last year, winning 80-52 at the O'Reilly Family Event Center on Feb. 6 and 78-61 on Feb. 23 in St. Louis.
 
Conley Garrison leads the Panthers averaging 15.6 points. The junior from Bolivar also leads the team and is third in the league in assists distributing 5.5 per game.
 
Thursday's game will be Maryville's first GLVC home game. The Saints have played five straight league contests on the road and have not been on their home floor at all since a Dec. 20 non-conference game against Eureka. Maryville's game against Drury is the first of four home games in a row.
 
After Thursday's game, the Panthers travel to Rolla to take on Missouri S&T at 3 pm.
