What a clinic by Drake. Well done!

Fun game to watch. I wonder what all those Mizzou fans that said they were going to blow Drake out think about us now......Next!

Way to go Drake

MVC kicked the SEC’s ass. What a show by Drake.

Drake fans were definitely heard on the tv (and pointed out by the announcers).

If Mizzou wasn't a power team I'd feel bad for them. The mid majors were so underseeded. that said it's nice to know we were undervalues as a league, 11 seed for a 30-3 is awfully bad. The valley champ, and pun fully intended, our dog bit back

Tremendous performance by Drake. Good luck on Saturday.

Go MVC!

Way to Drake the hell out of that game. I was talking to a fellow Bradley fan this morning, and he couldn't even watch Drake because he hates the way you play and win. I hate it when we're playing against it, but kind of enjoy it when you do it to a big school like that. You guys are going to be a tough out.

Great job Drake! They don't exactly hand out NCAA wins like candy, so that took some doing, and pretty damn impressive to beat a talented team by 10 despite the free throw woes and some turnover sloppiness.

Stirtz is obviously an instant Valley legend, and I'm glad what I saw from Tavion Banks in Arch Madness (including against my Salukis) translated to the big stage last night, especially defensively.

Struggling to get over that Drake likely was not getting an at-large (and still happy to accept the handful of stubborn holdouts to the correct side to acknowledge that college basketball has become intolerably skewed to the power leagues) ...

Not that it'll amount to much, but I do think now is the time for Valley media types and even administrators to hit back at the college basketball pundits about this issue, with Drake's win fresh in people's minds. Obviously that goes to another level if they can get to the second week.

Great win Drake. Fun to watch and won me some $$ while at it!

Begs the question though, how the SEC got 14 of 16 teams into the tournament with 6 teams with a conference record under 500 (including two at 6-12). Looks like those teams had plenty of chances to prove themselves and couldn't all season. Why give them a shot at the national title vs say Bradley @ 27-8 or someone well deserving?? Mid majors over Power programs are always more exciting than Power Program over Power Program.

Something needs to be fixed.
