Drake women's basketball will not be featured in the NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs (22-11) were left out of the 68-team field during Sunday's NCAA Tournament selection show.
Drake fell, 96-90, in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Tournament semifinals to top-seeded Murray State, two wins away from an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Drake's resume wasn't strong enough for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs won their first two games of the regular season but went on to lose five games in a row through mid-November, including back-to-back losses to Iowa and Iowa State.
The Bulldogs bounced back with a nine-game unbeaten streak but couldn't take care of business when it mattered most in the postseason. They defeated Illinois State, 75-69, in the quarterfinals of the MVC Tournament, but fell to Murray State in the semifinals.
