I loved watching Willie Wise in the old ABA. But I never knew he played at Drake until now.

Loved this part :
He leans over and he says, "It's all over now, baby." I think they went up by 11 and were threatening to go up by 13, something like this, and he leaned over and said that to me.

And I was just livid. Because number one, we don't talk that much in the Missouri Valley. And number two, we felt in those years the Missouri Valley Conference was the toughest in the nation from top to bottom. It was Bradley and Cincinnati and Louisville and Memphis State and St. Louis, Drake, Wichita State. And so we felt like, Hey, are you kidding me? You're going to say something like that to us? So I leaned back to him and I said, "We're going to show you how we play in the Missouri Valley."

Pretty soon, with like seven seconds to go, we were down by one [laughs]. And if we had stolen the inbounds pass we just know deep in our hearts we would have won.
