Drake bounced back with a huge road win. The Bulldogs built a late 10 point lead then held off Bradley 64-57, handing the Braves their first Missouri Valley Conference loss. Freshman Tavion Banks led the Bulldogs with 19 points.

That’s Drake coach Ben McColllum. The Bulldogs had dropped their previous two games after a 12-0 start.

McCollum lengthened his bench and it paid off. The Drake reserves combined to score 44 points.
