In the highly anticipated Missouri Valley Conference tournament championship, No. 1 seed Indiana State will face No. 2 seed Drake, setting the stage for a must-watch game. Both teams have had impressive seasons, with Indiana State posting a 28-5 record and Drake at 27-6.

Drake aims for its first consecutive NCAA Tournament bids since the 1970-71 season, while Indiana State seeks its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2011. The two teams have split their regular-season meetings, making the upcoming championship not only a tiebreaker but also a crucial step for NCAA Tournament aspirations. Key players to watch include Robbie Avila from Indiana State and Tucker DeVries from Drake, with coaches Josh Schertz and Darian DeVries leading their respective teams. Indiana State previously defeated Northern Iowa 94-72, and Drake secured a narrow victory over Bradley, 70-67, with the game's final possession in Bradley's hands.
