Drake has moved back into a share of the Missouri Valley Conference lead. The Bulldogs outscored Murray State 14-3 to close the opening half and rolled to a 95-72 win in the Knapp Center. The Bulldogs shot a sizzling 61 percent percent, including 17 three pointers to move to 13-3 in the Valley.

That’s Drake coach Darian DeVries. Freshman Kevin Overton led the Bulldogs with a season high 23 points as they claimed a 19th straight home win.

The Bulldogs are 22-5 overall.
