Yur just just partial to that MU thingy that very few people understand ! :D

Drake can light it up outside, UCon better play some D , if Drake is on from outside...... they can play with many teams in the NCAA.

If you're in the Yahoo pick'em, please don't pick Drake over UConn.

kthx

Lose by 10-15 to Western Kentucky as Courtney Lee steps up and shows why is a possible NBA player.

Great take. Drake is incredibly beatable, if they aren't shooting well. However, they don't seem to have off-nights, if that's possible. UNI almost beat them at Drake, but Drake still pulled out the win. I think they'll beat some teams that they shouldn't, but they very likely could lose one they shouldn't as well.

In the end, I like their chances.

Definitely. OU's fading fast, and they were overseeded in the first place.

I like Butler beating Tennessee and making it at least to the Sweet Sixteen. I also think they could make a run to the Elite Eight or even Final Four but don't have the balls to put that on my SHEET.....OF INTEGRITY.

Ultra Peanut 03-20-2008 10:20 AM

I like Butler over Tennessee, too. Have UNC-UL in the regional final, though.

I'd love to see Pearl flame out again, he's such a douche.

Drake is less about their players and more about Dr. Tom Davis' coaching. That dude got more out of moderately talented Iowa teams in the 80's than anybody else could have.

So, don't count Dr. Tom out. He's a true student of the game and will exploit the other team's weaknesses through team play.

Ultra Peanut 03-20-2008 10:39 AM

His son's coaching Drake now, actually.

It's Keno's show now.

Phobia 03-20-2008 10:47 AM

I know virtually nothing about college BB. Pay no attention to me.

Phobia 03-20-2008 10:52 AM

Heh heh. I feel a little silly now. Here I am thinking I know something about Drake and I'm late to the party. How long as Dr. Tom been retired now? I should pick up a newspaper sometime, I guess.
