The Drake Men’s Basketball team played a strong second half against Indiana State Wednesday, but had spent the first twenty minutes digging a hole they couldn’t quite escape. The Sycamores (8-7, 2-1 MVC) survived the Bulldogs’ rally, 79-69.
The loss is Drake’s third in a row, and its seventh in the last eight games. The team falls to 5-10 overall and 0-3 in Missouri Valley Conference play, and has serious ground to cover if it intends to make noise at the conference tournament — now just two months away.
At halftime, the Bulldogs looked to be heading towards their worst defeat of the season.
