Ibi Watson had a season-high 20 points as the 14th-ranked Dayton Flyers overcame a ragged start and beat Drake 78-47. Dayton took the court with its highest ranking in a dozen years. The Flyers struggled to make shots early but pulled away with a 16-4 run that closed the half. Dayton is 8-1, while Drake fell to 8-3. The Bulldogs have lost both of their true road games, both in Ohio. They fell at Cincinnati earlier this season.
