I’d go with Drake. They have good guard play and a player in DeVries that can go off on any night

I hear he's been drawing a pension for the last 5 years.

I'd say the 12 seed is a long shot. I'd expect a 13 seed play in game.

Old guys and Roman Penn. They've got no depth but that doesn't really matter in the NCAA Tournament.


only if DD quits the Tucker ISO.

Between adjustments for geography and upsets in tournaments, a 12/13 is probably close.

I think it may be starting to sink in for Murray fans they aren’t in Kansas anymore.

It's definitely not Murray ha ha.

This is what you get when you overhelp in the paint on big boys and the dribble drive... 19 threes for Indiana State. Gotta be a record.

Well, I guess I have to quote myself on this one. Bradley shot 16-26 from 3 tonight in Cedar Falls. Some were open, but many not. Earned the win with outside shooting and defense. Impressive.
Go Panthers!!

Yes continue to ignore the Sycamores because of past year's annual failures at Archmadness during the Lansing years BUT this team is not any of those teams and Lansing doesn't live in Terre Haute anymore. :bounce:

Any of the top 4-6 teams could win a game or two in the tournament
