Thomas double-double leads Bradley past Drake, 82-74

The victory, coupled with Missouri State's loss to Wichita State, left the Braves and tied in the conference standing. Bradley's better RPI ranking earned it the tie-breaking edge to claim the higher seed.

Bradley (12-19, 7-11) never trailed in the game, but Drake tied the game twice in the first half and again at 48-48 with 11:01 left to play in the game, but the Braves always answered.

Thomas posted a double-double for the fourth time this season and grabbed nine of his 12 rebounds off the offensive glass. Darrell Brown added 15 points for Bradley (12-19, 7-11).

Graham Woodward put up a season-high 22 points for Drake (7-23, 5-13). De'Antae McMurray added 15 points.
