Jefferson De La Cruz Monegro had a team-high 16 points to lead Valparaiso on Wednesday night.

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.
