Drury fans will get their first glimpse of the new-look Drury Panthers and Lady Panthers when the DU basketball teams open play Wednesday in The Courts College Summer Pro-Am League at the facility located at 4139 E. Kearney in Springfield.
The DU men will split into two squads this season in order to give their roster more playing time, while the Lady Panthers will field a single team in the summer league, which consists of games on seven consecutive Wednesday nights from June 16 through July 28.
Admission is free per NCAA rules, though all Drury fans are encouraged to support the Food Court at The Courts out of appreciation to the facility for hosting the annual league and preparing the DU teams for their annual march through the Great Lakes Valley Conference and to the NCAA-II Tournament.
