Yesefu was 12 of 14 from the field, including five of seven from three point range.
Yesufu says he has been gaining confidence the past couple of weeks.
Drake improves to 22-2 but the Bulldogs may have suffered another costly injury. Senior point guard Roman Penn suffered a lower leg injury and did not return. The teams close out their series Monday night. It will be Drake’s final home game of the season.
