Gotta get someone off the bench but I know what you mean. They are legit, but if they get in foul trouble they are in trouble

Have all proven over the years it can be done at this level and not only that it can propel you to a nice contact or a better job. It’s been a good conference for coaches to come and build a resume for sure. Unfortunately, not many have withstood the test of time.
They also turn it over at a pretty high clip. They only had 6 vs Miami some how but the rest of the games they kick it around a good bit - admittedly I’ve watched them for a total of zero minutes but I’ve seen some highlights, checked some box scores and am intrigued.
Really, don’t need to watch them they’ve got a PG who shares it at a high level and clearly has a high bball IQ. Got shooters around him and they play defense. It all comes together.
Handing losses to Miami. FAU and Vandy all in the non conference is stout. Good for them. Whatever I don’t really give a shit good luck to them they will not get an at-large bet my life on it.
Well Stirtz and another starter played every minute of this 3 games in 4 day tournament. That’s just a lot of mins. They play team ball tho so it may not be an issue
Yeah high major wins but Vandy was picked last in SEC, Miami and FAU mid tier.
Don't downplay their wins, that's the committees job. "Yeah they beat an ACC and SEC team, but they weren't one of the good ACC and SEC teams, so that doesn't mean they should get an at-large".
Yeah… JS did the same thing, can’t knock it at this point ride your dogs if you have them.
As for where teams were picked and where you have them ranked at this point - bla. Meaningless. They suited up and they won with a new coach and entirely revamped roster I’m not here to marginalize it because they played middle of the pack P6 schools.
+ you’ve been Drakes biggest fan on here so far, stay true don’t come on here now to try and say they’re not going to final 4.

The Varsity Level
So after the MVC sweeps both these MTEs, they're now going to be changed so they're segregated into a 4-team P4 bracket and a 4-team mid-major bracket. Just unbelievable.
This is what college athletics specifically basketball has become & it’s a shame… So many things to just really make me want to turn it off entirely. I’ve been fighting the urge but shit like this is just infuriating.
SIU starting PG out for year with torn ACL. Avg 14pts. Sucks for him/them
Conference goes 1-3 today
Murray State picks up a win while SIU, Belmont and Missouri State take losses

Drake gonna be in good shape… They going to run through the Valley.
As long as they can avoid the injury bug
I feel like they don’t score high enough to win Valley games but they play sound defensively so Idk. Me personally I have to see what they look like against Valley Teams. Could pull a Murray State and be cool in the non-Conference and lose way more than they should during conference play. I could be completely wrong though.
I haven’t watched them play enough tbh but based on what I’ve seen… I want nothing to do with them.
Even when McCollum was at NWMS there would be a pretty wild variance in scores. Some games extremely high scoring others extremely low scoring. The guy just wins though. He puts together a very efficient offense with a very good defense. Championship combo right there
