ST. LOUIS — Missouri State nor Drake led by more than a possession in the final 17:50 of Saturday's Arch Madness semifinals.
It was only fitting the game would come down to a shot right before the buzzer.
Out of a timeout with under 10 seconds to go, Drake sophomore Joseph Yesufu split the Bears' zone and flew through the lane and sunk a game-winning shot with 2.5 seconds remaining to put the Bulldogs up 71-69.
Missouri State point guard Demarcus Sharp attempted a game-winning shot just beyond halfcourt and it was just off as the Bears' season came to an end.
