DES MOINES, Iowa – Liam Robbins led the Drake University men's basketball team with 19 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks as the Bulldogs beat Illinois State, 84-74, on Thursday night at the Knapp Center. The triumph was Drake's 14th-straight win at home.
Five Bulldogs scored in double figures to fend off the hot shooting of Illinois State's Zach Copeland, whose 32 points are the most a Drake opponent has poured in this season.
Robbins started quickly by posting six points and four rebounds in the first four minutes of action. He scored in double figures for the 10th-straight outing, and his strong play on both ends enabled the Bulldogs to gain a 44-24 advantage in points in the paint.
