Wichita @ Drake 1/28 8PM

The Shockers clearly need an upgrade in talent in order to win these games. Fortunately, they are on the way.

Van Fleet? Hmmm ... I think its more a question on why they were jacking 3's

ISASO right. WSU has plenty of shooters, but not enough makers. They are a very inconsistent 3pt shooting team. Some games they are on, sometime not - it is about 50-50% proposition. When WSU has lost this year you see their 3pt shooting just not be sub-standard, but dismall (like 1-14 vs CU in the 2nd half) or Kyles 0-8 performance tonight. It will hold them back in either the NCAA or NIT.

WSU was 6-14 on 3s in regulation, so that's pretty good. It was their 1-11 3-point shooting in OT that killed them.

It seemed that Drake was less fatigued in the 2nd and 3rd OT periods than WSU.

How is this possible when DU played only 8? We know WSU can go deep to the bench.

I looked at the Box score and found that WSU played just 9. Two of them, Cotton and Oripke, played only token minutes (3 and 2, respectively). So they really played 7 in a 55 minute game.

Great game by the Bulldogs. I knew they were better than their record when they took the Aces apart. Did they beat a top 25 team? Not bloody likely.

The crowd. The Bulldogs continued to feed off of the energy of the crowd and WSU was just completely gassed. You could see it going into the third OT.

[MoValley John]

What crowd? For a game against a first place opponent and worthy of storming the court, that was a crowd that would have embarrassed UNI.

I think this may be a great year to get your $130 worth of excitement and entertainment at the conference tournament.

McBulldog's house is big time proud today. Hats off to the Shockers ... that was a game to be listed in the "never forget" category. Stutz is really honk'n good.

[Drakey]

The Bulldogs finally beat a team that was "better" than them. That is the best defense the Bulldogs have playerd this year.
