The Drake Bulldogs scorched the nets by hitting 16 of 24 from three poinmt range in a 65-44 win at Southern Illinois as they bounced back from a two heartbreaking losses last week.

Drake coach Mark Phelps on his postgame show on KRNT in Des Moines says the team showed unbelieveable grit and resilience in coming back to win the game. The Bulldogs improve to 4-8 in the Valley after posting their most lopsided win in Carbondale.

Phelps says the team continues to work hard and is paying attention to working hard and to the coaches and to improving.
