I'm heading off to visit Tanner at Stanford so I'll be passively following this via the ESPN app. Someone do the needful in dropping the score updates and what not.
Drake, you bastards.
It's the day before we play the best team in the conference and it pains me to wonder...
Can we stay close with this well-oiled, well-disciplined machine?
Will we score more than 67 points?
Will they score fewer than 67 points?
Can Wagner match Mascari in 3pt attempts and makes?
Can Teel out-assist Stirtz?
Can Gray out-rebound Manyawu?
Can anyone on our team be an X-Factor vs the Bulldogs?
Will Drake lose anymore games this season? If so, why not to us?

Sycamores about to pick up a much needed Q1 win for their resume'
Funny, but if we win in might actually drop Drake out of Q1 range lol

I know isn't that the bitch with the system? Let's imagine our NET is 30 and we are fighting for our at-large hopes. We go to a place like Drake who lets say has an NET of 70. We smoke them. Our NET hardly moves but it drops Drake to 76 which makes them a Q2 game.
The whole quad system is insanely bad and just another wrinkle the P4 put in to screw the little guy.
I mean at the end of the day there is no difference between teams 49 & 50 and 75 & 76 but it could mean the difference between someone getting into the tournament or not. Crazy

We usually play well at Drake and lose and we usually play well at UNI. A win in this road trip would be huge for standings, players, and fans
Something I find fun and funny, I’m currently listening to the March to the Arch podcast and they did a mailbag segment this week, a question from “Justin” was submitted asking who the X-Factor has to be for ISU to be a top-6 team.
He submitted the question before my post and I posted the question before hearing the podcast. Serendipity anyone?

Let’s go get a big win tonight boys. This Drake team is gettable if you want to guard and you want to take care of the ball!
Maybe Drake will treat us like we treated ILState last year about this point in the season!

Gray busy complaining about a no call and lets his man a clear path to the basket
Well....so far we haven't done either of those things.

That’s okay. I didn’t expect to win this game. Hopefully we compete it’s early.
4 turnovers. Teel such a careless ball handler.
We aren’t even close to being able to guard these guys so far… Wild.
would be cool if we stopped turning over the ball
