Also on one of the Fox sports stations, FCSC. Drake up 21 to 18.

It is listed as being on ESPN+, but it is not available there. So FoxSports must have acquired the rights. UW-Milwaukee is not a good team that shoots poorly. They are shooting 30% at home so far tonight, and 21% from three.
Drake is now up 63-43 with 7:45 left to play-

Drake looked pretty good - hard to believe considering what they've lost..
they graduated four of their starting five including Reed Timmer, then all their best incoming recruits backed out - two went with the coach to Colorado State
(both have been starters there as freshman and one of them, Kendle Moore, is not only a starter but is one of their best players and key guys)...
...and just before last year their talented & promising big man Dominik Olejniczak left, and already this year they have lost another top players & starter Tremell Murphy...
And yet they still blew out Milwaukee on the road....so that's at least eight starter-caliber players lost since the end of 2017 and they still look like one of the best teams in the MVC!
