DES MOINES, Iowa — Duke Deen led Bradley with 12 points and Darius Hannah hit the winning dunk with 10 seconds left as the Braves knocked off Drake 61-59 on Sunday.

Deen went 4 of 10 from the field (3 for 7 from 3-point range) for the Braves (21-6, 12-4 Missouri Valley Conference). Zek Montgomery scored 11 points while going 4 of 6 from the field. Hannah shot 3 of 5 from the field and 2 for 4 from the free-throw line to finish with nine points.

The 6-foot-9 Hannah set a ghost screen on the right wing for Zek Montgomery, who hit a cutting Hannah for the go-ahead two-hand dunk.

Daniel Abreu missed a potential winning jumper just before the buzzer.

The Bulldogs (23-3, 13-3) were led by Abreu, who posted 16 points. Mitch Mascari added 14 points for Drake. Kael Combs had 11 points. The loss ended an 11-game winning streak for the Bulldogs.
