CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) -- Brooks McKowen scored his only point of the game, a free throw with no time remaining, to give Northern Iowa a 61-60 victory over Drake Wednesday night.
Chaun Brooks hit a 3-pointer from the left wing for Drake (8-15, 4-11 Missouri Valley) to tie the score at 60 with 10.9 seconds left. McKowen drove the right baseline and was fouled by Klayton Korver as he shot with time running out. McKowen missed the first but sank the second free shot.
Grant Stout and Erik Crawford led the Panthers (18-8, 9-6) with 12 points apiece. Ben Jacobson had 11.
Korver led the Bulldogs with 12 points and eight rebounds.
Drake trailed 19-12 when the Bulldogs went on a 14-5 run to grab a 26-25 edge following a hook shot by Aliou Keita. But a pair of 3-pointers put Northern Iowa ahead 31-26 at halftime.
The Panthers went ahead 60-57 on a jumper by Jacobson with 48 seconds left before Brooks' basket to tie the game.
Drake senior guard Lonnie Randolph scored six points to become the 19th player in Drake history to score 1,000 points, hitting his 1,002nd in the game to surpass Willie Cerf (1953-56, 1001 points) into No. 18 on the career scoring list.
