Southern Illinois

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Ore Arogundade shed his defender on a pick and hit a pretty 3-pointer from the wing, tying the game in overtime and Drake went on to defeat Southern Illinois 88-84 Wednesday night.

Arogundade, who scored a career-high 19 points on 6-for-9 shooting with four 3-pointers, stepped up with a 3, a key offensive board and two clutch free throws in the last 12 seconds of regulation to force a tie after Drake had lost a 13-point second-half lead. The Bulldogs (6-13, 4-3 Missouri Valley Conference) have won three of their last four.
