CARBONDALE, Ill. – The Drake men's basketball team pulled away at the end of the first half and did not look back in a 76-58 victory over Southern Illinois at the Banterra Center on Saturday night.
"I thought we had great execution on the offensive end taking advantage of some mismatches," head coach Darian DeVries said. "Defensively, we did an unbelievable job on Xavier Johnson. Our defense was really connected tonight, stringing together some stops. I liked the overall performance and we were able to extend the lead in the second half. This was a really good road win.
