Beacons can't get over the hump
MBB: Valparaiso's losing streak extends to four games with loss at Drake
Roger Powell Jr. is not deterred.
Sure, the second-year Valparaiso men’s basketball coach would love to put an end to Valpo’s now four-game losing streak, but Powell still has the bigger picture in mind.
The Beacons ran into a Missouri Valley Conference juggernaut on Wednesday as Drake shot nearly 70 percent in the first half to open up a 14-point halftime lead before holding off Valpo down the stretch with an 81-71 victory at the Knapp Center in Des Moines.
