Halftime
Drake 37 - ISU 17

[Da Coach]

Wow, ISU looks totally disinterested and overmatched. And McGlynn missed much of the first half with a leg injury.

[Da Coach]

3 ISU starters are scoreless, Evans, Yarbrough, and Copeland. They are 0-15.

[tornado]

with so much manpower on the Drake bench ISU making a comeback

[bigjimmy]

ISU trying to get back in it down 12 with 13:00

[bigjimmy]

Malik 1-9 and Copeland 0-7 for ISU. Fayne has 13

[bigjimmy]

As a team ISU is shooting just 13-42, 3-19 from 3

[tornado]

but will Drake have enough bodies to finish them off

[bigjimmy]

Somehow ISU hanging in down 56-45 with 7:49 left. Fayne has 15. Tremell Murphy has 22 for Drake. Malik has 5 on 1-11 shooting

[tornado]

Not over yet but - Drake with five starters on the bench or in leg braces - and still pulling away from ISU

[bigjimmy]

ISU still hanging on down 69-60 with 4:00 left

[tornado]

Yes -- OFFENSIVE FOUL ON FAYNE!!!!

[tornado]

Yarbrough 2-15 then giving up easy layups to the little guys

[tornado]

FINAL SCORE
Drake schools ISU 78-62 with basically their 2nd string & walk-ons playing the dang whole game

It will be interesting to see what ISU does for next year...they lose virtually every player who could contribute and bring in a bunch of transfers from San Jose State - who were the worst team in Division I and the guys who transferred to ISU were not even their top scorer.
