Drury travels to UMSL on Tuesday, 3:30 pm 
The Drury Panthers look to bounce back from a 74-53 loss to 13th ranked Truman State as they take on Missouri-St. Louis on Tuesday at 3:30 pm.
 
Drury is 3-2 and will be playing only their second road game of the season. The Panthers won their only other contest away from home in an 80-74 win at Lindenwood on Dec. 20.
 
UMSL is 5-2 and in second place in the GLVC Central Division. The Tritons are coming off of a 77-56 win at home over Indianapolis on Saturday and have won four of their last five games.
 
Drury lost both of their games against UMSL last year, with both games decided at the buzzer. The Tritons won in Springfield 72-70, and they hit a desperation three-pointer in the GLVC quarterfinals for a 53-51 win over the Panthers. Drury had won 11 straight against UMSL before last season's losses, and they lead the all-time series against the Tritons 25-7.
 
Drury guard Conley Garrison needs just 11 points to surpass 1,500 points in his career. The senior from Bolivar will be the 18th player in team history to reach that milestone.   
 
Tuesday's game is the first of three games this week for the Panthers. Drury returns to the floor on Thursday when they host William Jewell at 6:05 pm at the O'Reilly Family Event Center.
