Just some really poor shooting by ISU and really effective offense by Drake led to the 78-62 victory. Tremell Murphy has 26, Anthony Murphy had 16 and Noah Thomas had 13 for Drake. Malik has 11 on just 2-16 shooting.

[Da Coach]

Wow, complete annihilation by Drake. Even with Nick McGlynn's knee injury and only playing 7 minutes in the 1st half, and foul problems by 3 other key Drake players, Drake wallops ISU 78-62.

Drake is amazing. Lose Norton? No problem. DJ? No problem. McGlynn? McGlynn who?

Although I love seeing the Jailbirds lose I wonder if it would’ve been better for them to take out Drake.

let's get Loyola first - and if ISU played better than Drake so be it but they didn't
I think Drake will be gassed and short-benched tomorrow - we'll see - but they coul dbe easy pickings if SIU plays well


ISU fans gotta be feeling a little like we did in 2014 & 2015 - sucking so bad but having your AD & coach tryin' to tell the fan base
that it's really a team full of freaking superstars & fans just need to shut up be a little patient cuz they are clueless as to how hard this college basketball stuff really is, but they're the experts so stfu
