Missouri State blew a 15-point halftime lead to lose to Drake 68-61 at home Tuesday night.

In a game that could have showed Missouri State as one of the premier Missouri Valley Conference teams, the Bears collapsed after a stellar first half.

The game opened with teams trading points, until Gaige Prim hit a jump shot to give MSU a 20-16 lead at the 10:40 mark of the first half. Missouri State then went on a 21-10 run to take a 41-26 lead into halftime.
