THE RUNDOWN
No. 22 DBU trailed by 11 points with eight minutes to play at St. Mary's, but a comeback effort fueled by Conner Lidiak's 19 second-half points kept the Patriots in first place in the Heartland Conference. The Rattlers (7-13, 3-6) led for more than 17 minutes of the second half before a Lidiak three gave the Patriots (17-3, 7-2) the lead for good with 2:49 left in the game.

DBU outscored St. Mary's 27-5 in the game's final eight minutes. The Patriots made 10 of 25 three-pointers, including eight of their final 11. DBU led for most of the first half, but trailed 39-30 at the half. 

Lidiak's 19 points were a game-high. Patrick Burke scored nine of his 15 points in the second half.
