TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – In an intense Missouri Valley Conference contest, the Drake men's basketball team clawed back to erase a 17-point first half deficit before Indiana State prevailed with a final push, 75-67 in front of 8,332 spectators at the Hulman Center on Saturday evening.
"We had plenty of opportunities," head coach Darian DeVries said. "We got off to such a tough start to the game, but we kept our composure and clawed our way back into it. Once settled in, our guys competed and played their tails off. It was disappointing that we couldn't finish the comeback off.
