TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- The effort on the defensive end was evident throughout the day for the Indiana State Basketball team but the shots just would not fall -- especially down the stretch at critical times -- as Drake erased an earlier deficit to come back for a 68-62 win inside Hulman Center on Hall of Fame Day for the athletics department.
The Sycamores fell to 11-11, 3-7 MVC while Drake improved to 17-6, 6-4 MVC. It was Drake's third consecutive win the all-time series.
Indiana State forced 18 Drake turnovers in the contest and converted them into 26 points to help power the offense -- including scoring 13 points on the fast break.
