Jalen Quinn made a layup and two free throws in the final 24 seconds of overtime as Drake won at Southern Illinois 76-73. The Bulldogs roared back from a 17 point second half deficit to force the extra session as they snapped a two game losing streak.

That’s Drake coach Eric Henderson who felt rebounding was a key to the rally.

Quinn finished with 21 points as the Bulldogs move to 3-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
