Panthers take on 8th ranked Missouri S&T for Senior Day
Drury takes on 8th ranked Missouri S&T on Senior Day and the regular season finale on Saturday at 3 pm in the O'Reilly Family Event Center.
 
The Panthers are 13-13 and 8-11 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Drury is coming off a 66-60 loss at Missouri-St. Louis on Thursday in their last game.
 
Missouri S&T is 23-3 and 17-2 in the GLVC. The Miners have won four straight and earned a 79-75 win at Lincoln on Thursday.
 
Saturday's game is a rematch of an earlier meeting this season on Jan. 11. Missouri S&T defeated Drury 90-76 in Rolla and has won seven of their last nine games against the Panthers. Drury leads the all-time series, though, 43-14.
 
Before tipoff on Saturday, the Panthers will honor seniors Riek Riek, Brock Wakefield, and Quenton Shelton.
 
Senior Day magic
The Panthers have won their three Senior Day games, all played on the last day of the regular season. Last year, Drury beat Truman State 90-87 in a game that was tied with 33 seconds left. Two years ago, the Panthers defeated Lewis 78-77 in overtime on a last-second basket by Riley Naeger. In 2022, Drury ended the season with a 62-61 win over Illinois Springfield on another shot at the buzzer, this one from Victor Nwagbarachoa.
