Drury men triumph in runaway

No more close losses: Drury University made that statement abundantly clear on Saturday afternoon with a resounding performance against a strong opponent.

Six Panthers scored in double-figures in a dominating 93-54 victory over a Lewis team that came into the O’Reilly Family Event Center with a 10-2 record.

The Panthers came in with the pent-up frustration of losing four straight games by free throws awarded in the final 5 seconds.

The bitterest taste may have come at home on Thursday night, when a highly debatable foul call during a loose ball in the last seconds resulted in a 71-70 loss to Indianapolis.
