NCAA bracket question: Drake
 
I know nothing about them.

Are they capable of beating Connecticut and going to the Sweet 16?

I'm looking for a first round upset, for some reason I want to pick this.

(or will they lose to Western Kentucky?)


(my only other real upset is Baylor over Purdue)

I have drake upsetting ucoon to go to the sweet 16... But no further....

their best player is a guy that averaged 8 points all season, and he was the conference player of the year.

I think they are way overrated.

Drake's style is to shoot three's from literally everywhere on the court, every player can shoot these even the big man. They could fizzle out or potentially do some damage. I think a lot of people are picking upset here but I like them. I look to Temple instead for my 12 seed upset.

Mr. Arrowhead 03-20-2008 08:25 AM

they can shoot every where on the court, all the players can shoot. The only one that dont shoot is emmaunker and he just drive and dishes it out. To me that kind of style is dangerous in March.

Mr. Arrowhead 03-20-2008 08:30 AM

also they got 5 players that average 10 points or more, and they are led by sophmore Josh Young who average neartly 16 points a game and has taken 182 3 points and shoots 45 % from the 3 point line

Exactly, so I of all people should know bad basketball when I see it! :)

I've seen them play. They are a great team and I think they win the first round then get beat once they play a team that can defend the outside well. I don't think this is the 12-5 upset. They are also well coached, Keno Davis is in his first year but have been with the team when his father Dr. Tom Davis was coach.

UCon better play some serious D or say good bye ........

actually, their description as a 3 point shooting team makes them a good matchup for Connecticut, negates the shot blocking of Thabeet....I think I'm going to pick them..

I like W. Kentucky over Drake. The Hilltoppers are very underrated.
