Drake’s performance at home didn’t improve after last week’s loss to Northern Iowa. The Bulldogs (6-19, 1-12 MVC) fell to the Wichita State Shockers (18-6, 12-1 MVC) at the Knapp Center, 74-48.
The Shockers returned to their old form at the Knapp Center after their first loss in conference play this season, a 53-58 road loss to Illinois State on Feb. 6. Wichita State’s lead was 44-21 at the end of the first half. The Shockers were shooting over 50 percent from the three-point line (17-30) and the Bulldogs were struggling keep pace (5-23).
