SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - The Drake University men's basketball team remained among the ranks of the undefeated Wednesday evening, holding off Missouri State, 78-73, at JQH Arena.
The win completed a two-game sweep of Missouri State to improve the Bulldogs to 15-0 this season and 6-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
"Coming off a three-week layoff, to come down here and get two wins is huge for us," said Drake head coach Darian DeVries.
A day after rallying from a 17-point deficit to win, Drake built up a 13-point lead Wednesday and then held off a 15-0 Missouri State run to prevail.
