BU 72 - Drake 71 - Post Game Thread
- Thread starter tornado
- Start date
Sure,.....I was just over it and had calmed down...now you have to bring it all up AGAIN. Let it go...I need rest.
Hang on I have it on Tivo let me replay the last 4.3 seconds for you.
Thats why I never was really impressed with Drake. Sure they beat SIU at home but so did we last year (when they were better)

Da Coach, Big Mike, and I are on the way home from Des Moines, what a comeback. Great effort by everyone, that's payback for earlier this year.
By the way, we are the good luck charm!

highlights coming up on ESPN
Agreed that it should go both ways.
Drake has put together a great season but looking at their non-conference schedule, they hardly played anyone this year. Chicago St? NC Central? Texas PanAm? I'm afraid they won't represent the MVC that well in the NCAA's.
Nice highlights of the game just now on Sportscenter. The announcer prefaced the highlights by saying "how much of a letdown would Drake have after winning their first Missouri Valley Conference championship in 37 years? You're about to find out."
Nice! I'm sure the Drake faithful are happy he said that! But that's why you play the games.

Talking about this on the phone....IF DU loses in the BB and then loses their first game in StL. where does that put them? We were thinking the 11-13 range for a seed and a very tough first round game! What a turn around!
Great win for the Braves!

Gotta give it to our guys - they really hung in there at a couple points where it looked like Drake might pull away. Outstanding game for Crouch, 23 points on just 12 shots!
I think Bradley has a legitimate chance to win all 3 remaining games. If that happens, a loss in the MVC title game would give Bradley an RPI around 64th, according to RPIforecast.com, which would actually put the Braves into the bubble discussion! With a hot finish, some help from other bubble teams, and injuries taken into consideration, Bradley might be able to sneak in the tourney in that scenario.
Of course, it would be nice to just win the MVC tourney and remove all doubt!

Someone carry JC & Wilson off the court, Wilson looks like he is about ready to faint and JC had a very tired look on his face the last couple minutes of the game lol. Just an excellent game for March Madness although I still don't think BU can be fresh enough for 3 games in 3 days at this intensity. TCS and especially Singh is going to have to control the foul troubles. Singh is averaging about a foul every 2-3 minutes hes played the last few games.

nice effort by everyone who got on the court tonight....I think they had DR close to 40 mins in the game.....most of the guards logged too many minutes and TW was just gassed! Great Win.....I'm now 2-0 this year on road games with UNI being the 1st! Makes the 2 hours sleep last night easier to handle heading off to work!:lol:
Oh how I love YouTube.....didn't realize the last shot came from that far out, when I heard Snell's call, I thought it was a lot closer to the basket.
And if Jeremy was one step faster, he'd've swatted Korver's shot into the seats and we would have had another excruciating 2-3 seconds to get thru.....

Way to bring it home Mike...that HAD to be incredible. The last thing DC said to me at work yesterday was "do you wanna go".....I just couldn't pull the trigger that late allthough I appreciated the offer.
I "charged" him to bring a better "effort" than he did for the InSU game
....nice job DC and gang, way to come through.Thats what I was thinking when I saw that shot go off screen. "Oh great, its gonna go out of bounds and they'll have another shot"
