And Drake over Missouri. It suffered some setbacks, too — we’re looking at you, VCU and UCSD. But Slingshot isn’t one to dwell in the past. Instead, let’s turn its attention to Saturday’s second-round games that meet the Bracket Breakers’s upset qualification of at least a five-seed difference.

The Drake Bulldogs won their first NCAA tournament game in over 50 years Thursday with a 67-57 victory over the Missouri Tigers. Drake controlled the game for most of the night, with Missouri cutting the lead to one with 4:28 to go before the Bulldogs made their final run to pull away.

American Bennett Stirtz, the Drake Bulldogs finally got over the NCAA Tournament hump, upsetting 6-seed Missouri to advance to the second round.
