Willie Davis plays an important role in Eagles' scored, dominating the ball.

Hurricane Blows Down NT's Flock; Drake Bulldogs Scrape Past Eagles

In what could be considered a typical basketball evening, an excited crowd of North Texans watched the University of Tulsa's Hurricane slip by the Eagles 63-57. But for some consolation, Willie Davis outranked Tulsa's Herman Caklads 11-10 to hold his Missouri Valley Conference rebound lead.

Exactly one month later, in February, excitement soared again as Drake University scraped past the flock in overtime on the Eagles' home court during the first live television broadcast of the year. After Willie Davis opened the overtime period with a tip-in, the Drake Bulldogs took the Eagles' lead and won the game 66-58.
