Drake dropped a home contest to Bradley on Wednesday night 83-71 at the Knapp Center. The Bulldogs shot just 37% from the field and broke their 13-game home winning streak.

The Braves led by 5 at half and were able to hang on to the lead for their 9th win of the season. Terry Roberts had 18 points and 8 rebounds to lead Bradley.

Drake had four players in double-figures, led by 17 from Tucker DeVries and 15 from Garrett Strurtz.

The Bulldogs fall to 13-6 overall and 4-2 in the Valley. Next up for Drake is a trip to Cedar Falls on Saturday to face UNI at 5:00 p.m. on ESPNU.

The Creighton Bluejays jumped on top early and blew out St. John’s 87-64 on Wednesday night in Omaha. Creighton grabbed a 49-34 lead by the end of the first half and outscored the Red Storm by 8 in the second half.

Alex O’Connell poured in 28 points and had 7 rebounds to lead the Jays. Arthur Kaluma added 20 points and Atlantic alum Ryan Hawkins chipped in 13 points with 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Bluejays improved to 11-5 overall and 3-2 in the Big East. Next up for the Jays is a home game against DePaul on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.

It will be a homecoming of sorts for Iowa center Monica Czinano tonight (Thursday night) when the 25th ranked Hawkeye women visit Minnesota. Czinano grew up near the Twin Cities and her sister, Maggie, is guard for the Gophers.

Czinano says while a lot of family and friends will be in Williams Arena she is trying to stay focused on the game.

Iowa coach Lisa Bluder is concerned about guarding a Minnesota team that is connecting on nearly 40 percent from three point range.

Iowa’s three game win streak was snapped at Rutgers, Wednesday night. Ron Harper Junior gave the Scarlet Knights the 48-46 lead with a pair of free throws with two seconds remaining. It capped a dreadful shooting night for the Hawks who made only 17 of 61 shots.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. The teams combined to commit 31 fouls and make just 35 field goals.

Keegan Murray led Iowa with 13 points and 13 rebounds and was whistled for a foul while guarding Harper in the final seconds.

The seventh ranked Iowa State women were outscored 14-4 in the third quarter, Wednesday, as the shorthanded Cyclones lost to 15th ranked Texas 66-48 in Ames. ISU was without Ashley and Aubrey Joens, who were out due to COVID protocols.

That’s Cyclone coach Bill Fennelly. With the Joens sisters out the Cyclones struggled on offense and made only 12 of 43 shots in the game.

Fennelly says Texas dominated the game with defense.

The Cyclones are 16-2 overall and 5-1 in the Big 12.
