It was close at halftime at least.
Drake gave up its chance to upset the no. 2 team in the Missouri Valley Conference when it suffered one of the team’s worst halves of the season.
The Illinois State Redbirds (21u20115, 13-1 MVC) held a three-point lead at halftime, but controlled the Bulldogs on both sides of the court in the final 20 minutes.
