Drake missed a chance to take command of the Missouri Valley Conference title chase. A Darius Hannah dunk with 10 seconds remaining was the game winner as Bradley edged the Bulldogs 61-59 in the Knapp Center. The Bulldogs were held without a field goal the final three and a half minutes.

The Bulldogs were only 14 of 22 from the foul line as their lead in the Missouri Valley race over the Braves dwindles to a game with four to play.

Drake leading scorer Bennett Stirtz was held to eight points and Bradley prevented him from taking over at crunch time.

Drake falls to 13-3 in the Valley and 23-3 overall
