Loyola plays like they're at the playground with no refs. Reach ins all day and these Stevie Wonder referees can't see it.

Surprised Shan’Quan Hemphill hasn’t scored 25 minutes in. Drake needs him to have a big final 15 to win.

Drake showing signs of a short bench and playing 3 games in 3 days. Missed 8 straight shots.

Was hoping for a Drake win to get two teams in the dance. Will MSU and Drake receive NIT bids?

[MVCfans]

Entertaining game. Congrats to Loyola.

Why was the attendance so low? Murray-Morehead drew 6,500 last night with at least 6,000 of them Murray fans. Surprised the OVC final > MVC final attendance wise. What happened?

When Loyola went on the 19-0 run, Bulldog player’s looked afraid to shoot the ball. Passed up a lot of wide-open shots to throw up a forced shot to beat the shot clock. Big turning point of the game.

Two of the smallest schools in the conference. Plus tickets costing $60 freaking dollars for single game ($80 after fees) you’re not going to get the general STL public to pay that for two schools they don’t care about.

Crowd attendance was always highest when Missouri State, Southern Illinois, Illinois State, and Bradley played on Saturday. Hopefully that can happen soon. When those four are the top seeds, and with the addition of the new team’s, Enterprise Center will be rocking again. Creighton and Wichita also brought a lot of fans. Looking forward to seeing the Racers fan’s pack Ballpark Village next year.

Drake 2,850 students, Loyola 11,612 as of 2020. Drake crowd looked good. Loyola not so much. After all of their recent success I was surprised by their crowd.
