DES MOINES, Iowa —The Drake men's basketball team closed the regular season with a thrilling 69-59 overtime win against Loyola on Saturday afternoon at the Knapp Center.
With 12 seconds left of the game, sophomore Reed Timmer (New Berlin, Wis.) hit a long three-pointer at the top of the arc to tie the game at 48-48. Loyola was whistled for a foul on play, but not the shot, sending the Bulldogs' to the line for a one and the bonus. Drake failed to convert on the free throw, but Drake redshirt-freshman Casey Schlatter (Iowa Falls, Iowa) blocked a potential game winning shot from Loyola's Milton Doyle as time expired to force overtime.
