DES MOINES, Iowa – Similar to the first time these two teams met back on Jan. 17, the Drake University men's basketball team defended Southern Illinois on the final possession of the game and the Bulldogs held strong for a 62-60 win at the Knapp Center on Saturday (Feb. 26).
"I thought we came out and played well in the first half," head coach said. "We let Southern Illinois and Marcus Domask get going to allow SIU to claw back into the game. We got a little stagnant in the second half. We made just enough plays late in the game at both ends of the floor to get an important win.
