Norchad Omier added 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Hurricanes, who won despite being held to a season-low 63 points. Wooga Poplar had 15 points.<\/p>\n

Darnell Brodie had 20 points and nine rebounds to lead Drake (27-8). The Missouri Valley Conference tournament champions were outscored 16-1 over the final 4:29 and 10-0 in the last 2:28. The Bulldogs missed their last seven shots from the field and were scoreless the final 3:24.<\/p>\n

Miami, which only made 17 field goals in the game, found a way to pick up its defense and make things happen. Pack started the rally with a jumper and Poplar hit two free throws and a jumper to close the deficit to 55-53 with 3:34 to play.<\/p>\n

After Penn scored the Bulldogs’ final point on a free throw with 3:24 left Jordan Miller hit two free throws, and Bensley Joseph made one to tie the contest at 56 with 2:20 to play.<\/p>\n

Pack, who was 7 of 15 from the field, put Miami ahead for good with his jumper off a turnover.<\/p>\n

BIG PICTURE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drake: The Bulldogs<\/a> had this one won until they got ice-cold at the end.<\/p>\n

Miami: The Hurricanes looked disconnected offensively all night, but they will have to improve to get back to another Elite Eight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
