THE BASICS
The Drake men's basketball team returns to the Knapp Center for its first home game since Dec. 28 when Illinois State visits on Wednesday (Jan. 12) at 7 p.m.
The Bulldogs overcame a 10-point first half deficit to defeat the Purple Aces, 60-59 at the Ford Center. Drake's defense held strong as Evansville had multiple looks during the final moments of regulation.
Tucker DeVries led the Bulldogs in scoring last Saturday with 15 points marking his 13th double-figure scoring game of the season.
