CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The Drake University men's basketball team limited UNI to just five points over the last 8:37 of the game to erase an 11-point second half deficit inside a packed McLeod Center and defeat its rival, 82-74 in overtime. Roman Penn's driving layup with seven seconds remaining in regulation sent the contest to overtime.
"Our whole focus wasn't about X's and O's but about getting gritty," head coach Darian DeVries said. "We continued to make plays and got great stops down the stretch. You have to make things go your way.
