Drake had all they could handle at home against South East Missouri State as they got down by 11 after the first 8:00, got their only lead of the half on FT's with 6:50 left then ended up being down 6 at the half. SEMO quickly got back up by 11 then Drake scored 9 straight to be down 52-50 with 14 1/2 left in the game. It took the next 6 minutes until Drake got their 2nd lead of the game with 8 1/2 left. The game was close the rest of the way. SEMO made a 3 with 2:10 left to put them up 73-72 but would not score the rest of the game as SEMO missed 5 shots and 2 FT's while Drake made 7 out of 10 FT's to win 78-73. Drake was 24-34 from the FT line while SEMO was just 13-23.
The ISU Redbirds never trailed in their game as they led wire to wire for a 61-50 win at home against Morehead State.Comment

Thanks for the correction. It's still would have been a good thing to get a road win over a Conference USA team, even if it is Southern Miss (they were picked 14th out of 14 teams in the preseason CUSA poll). Unfortunately, SIU couldn't hold on and took a loss.
The MVC is now 58-37 overall, and 49-37 vs. Division I.
They rank 13th in conference RPI-
The MVC has no teams currently inside the top 125 in RPI-
