It’s hard to win when you don’t work as a unit and post ten fewer assists than your opponent, a fact Evansville found out the hard way two weeks ago. They suffered a bruising 79-58 loss at the hands of the Bulldogs. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Evansville in their matchups with Drake: they’ve now lost 11 in a row.

Meanwhile, after a string of five wins, Quinnipiac’s good fortune finally ran out on Friday. They lost 62-60 to the Peacocks on a last-minute shot From Mouhamed Sow. The result shouldn’t come as a shock considering that’s the fewest points Quinnipiac has scored all season.
Quinnipiac’s loss shouldn’t obscure the performances of Savion Lewis, who scored 14 points along with seven assists and five rebounds, and Paul Otieno who almost dropped a double-double on 12 points and nine rebounds. Lewis continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he’s played.
