Drake men rally to edge Indiana State
January 4th, 2026 by Ric Hanson
The Drake men held Indiana State without a field goal for the final five-and-a-half minutes of the game and rallied for a 74-72 win in the Knapp Center. The Bulldogs improve to 2-2 in the Missouri Valley and bounced back from a lopsided loss at home to Illinois State.
That’s Drake coach Eric Henderson. The Bulldogs trailed by eight late in the first half.
The Bulldogs broke through after a series of frustrating losses at home.
Drake may be without junior starting forward Wilguens Junior Exacte for an extended period of time. He suffered a foot injury last week.
