Men's Basketball Defeats South Dakota

The Drake University men's basketball team offset some early shooting woes with free throws, then found its touch in the second half and rolled past South Dakota 99-50 at the Knapp Center on Sunday afternoon.

Four players scored in double figures as Drake (2-0) beat the Coyotes for the third straight time and piled up its largest margin of victory in the series, which the Bulldogs now lead 12-3. The largest margin previously against the Coyotes (1-1) was a 69-33 victory in Des Moines in 1946.

The Bulldogs got contributions up and down the lineup and everyone who got into the game scored at least 5 points.
