Halli Poock’s jumper with two seconds remaining was the game winner as Missouri Valley leader Murray State beat Drake 89-88, Sunday, in the Knapp Center. The Bulldogs saw a 14-point lead evaporate in the final nine-and-a-half minutes.

That’s Drake coach Allison Pohlman. Bulldog sophomore Payton McCabe was carried off the court with a leg injury. She is the younger sister of Iowa guard Taylor McCabe.

The Bulldogs fall to 5-4 in the Valley.
