Des Moines, Iowa — Drake bounced back from its first loss in convincing fashion.
The Bulldogs took control late in the opening half and raced away to an 80-59 win over UNI. Drake coach Darian DeVries.
After a loss to Valparaiso DeVries was happy with the way his team responded.
Joe Yesufu and Terrell Murphy each had 18 for the Bulldogs. It may have been a costly win. Senior forward Tank Hemphill left the game midway through the second half with a lower leg injury and DeVries says they should know more Thursday. The Bulldogs outrebounded the Panthers 42-26. UNI coach Ben Jacobson.
Jacobson says rebounds were a big part of Drake’s run late in the second half.
Trae Berhow led the Panthers with 14 points.
