Drake men’s basketball started regular season play on Nov. 11 hosting South Dakota State University at the Knapp Center. SDSU took the win, 79-74, over the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs started the game on the defensive with the Coyotes converting on second-chance points in the first minute of the game.
Drake started behind early, facing a 5-1 deficit.
A steal by junior guard C.J. Rivers gave him a fast break and an easy layup to put the Bulldogs within two.
Then a good jumper by Rivers on an assist from sophomore Billy Wampler tied it up.
