Balanced Attack Keys 82-64 Win for Des Moines' Hometown Team
DES MOINES, Iowa – There's no place like home – especially for Drake men's basketball.
The Bulldogs (12-5, 3-3 in Missouri Valley Conference play) bounced back from two narrow losses on the road with major contributions up and down the lineup in an 82-64 victory over Murray State (9-7, 4-2) at the Knapp Center on Saturday evening, handing the MVC newcomers just their second loss in league play.
"It's amazing how much better everybody feels when shots go down," head coach Darian DeVries said. "I thought we have practiced similar to how it looked today. I thought our ball movement was great tonight and it led to quality shots. Sardaar (Calhoun) came in and gave us a great lift."
