Thanks, Drake

I think Drake was a good team... Let's all show a little respect and class about it... They played really hard, and naturally I want them to win so the MVC looks good....

That and Cox's mom is very likely the most gorgeous MVC mom of all time.

I've said it all year. Drake is nothing special. Mediocre schedule, MVC in a down year. I expect Butler to bow out first round too.

Drake could have folded their tent when they were down 16 early in the 2nd half, but they didn't quit, just like they didn't quit all year long. I think they represented the MVC very well, in what has arguably been the best game of the tournament thus far.
 
Drake had a great year and I'm really disappointed to see them lose. They showed a lot of heart today and played with a lot of class. Congrats to them on a great season.

IMO a "special" team stays in a game when the other team is shooting lights out. Maybe sends it to OT when the opponent is shooting say 60% pretty much the whole game.

This game just showed how difficult it is to win this championship. You can run into a hot team in one game and your season's over.

I disagree. A #5 seed and a team that lost four games ALL YEAR shouldnt be down 16 to a 12 seed. Period.

Historically the highest percentage of all upsets occur with a 12 seed vs. a 5 seed. I kinda saw this coming, although unfortunately my bracket does not reflect it, as I used all emotion to make my pics this year.

Guiness, did you see how WKU was shooting the ball for much of the game? Do you understand that sometimes basketball games simply come down to who shoots the ball better?

Whatever.....I suppose a team that shoots 54.4% FG (even if they are only a 12 seed), doesn't deserve any credit for playing a good game either.

Too bad Butler's not laying over for you...

............and a #2 seed (Duke) shouldn't have to come from behind in the last :30 seconds to beat a #15 seed (Belmont). That's why it's called March Madness Guinness......you never know what might happen.

I picked WKU in this game only because I thought the pressure, inexperience and foreign arena would keep Drake from playing their game and hitting te outside shots. As it was, WKU got lucky at the end and hit a LONG 3-pointer with three Drake players in his face. It just wasn't meant to be for Drake I'm afraid.

Well said. I never understand why people get so indignant about upsets.. That's the nature of the tournament, and that's why we don't have any best of seven game series. A best of one can go either way, so just accept it and have a good time. Sure, I'm upset, but mainly for my good friend, Mrs. Cox.
