NCAA Tournament Round 2: #11 Drake vs #3 Texas Tech Sat 5:10

Led by New Mexico transfer JT Toppin the Red Raiders are 5th in the country in offensive efficiency. They took 40+ 3's in their win tonight against UNC Wilmington.

I like this matchup...Drake makes it tough for teams to get setup on the perimeter. Gonna be tough for a team that shoots as many 3's as Tech (at least in this last game).

The first whistle just came at 11:33. A quarter of the game just evaporated before it even had a whistle.

Toppin & Williams combined for more points than Drake had in the first half

Memorable, historic season for Drake. Dolph Pulliam spending the tournament behind the Drake bench standing and cheering in a suit and blue tie - 56 years after his Final Four - is timeless.

Next few days are going to be torture for Drake fans, waiting to see if McCollum takes the Iowa job or not

Outstanding season for Drake. Wildly successful and impressive.

McCollum is obviously a superb coach. Re: playing guys 40 minutes night after night, I think it works for some guys and not others. Stirtz handled it incredibly well. You can’t tell me Mascari was the same guy the last month of the season as he had been before.

We had reports Mascari had injured his hand but it was very hockey like in that we never got the full details.

Best season in 54 years. Can't complain. Thanks to everyone for a great season.

Hoping Devries shot a text to McCollum saying you'd be dumb to take that job after his interview. He was not as committal in any direction in his postgame presser as I would have hoped he would have been.

Agree with all the comments so far.
