BU 89@ DU 86 for a road win in the Valley!

[Da Coach]

Interesting you should mention Hawkeye fans. We had the chance to talk to many basketball fans while in Des Moines. Some were Drake fans at the game, but there were UNI fans at our hotel, too. And we met many Iowa Hawkeye fans. And even the DU and UNI fans were all big Iowa fans, too. And every one of them said the same things about their thoughts on Steve Alford....they all despised him. We did not meet a single person who wasn't vocal about their dislike for Alford.
Despite being fairly successful there, he has not won over many people in Iowa!

I was at the Bradley-Drake game last night. Really a well hard fought game by both teams. Exciting as heck to watch. I really liked the building...it got very loud in there at times....to bad they didn't have much in the way of a student section at the game. They need to get some more students out there with how close they are to the end lines, they could really get on some players. In any case, a fun game to watch and it was nice to see a lot of players contribute from the Bradley side.

[Da Coach]

The students were on their break. Normally the west stands (the end zone near the Bradley bench), and some of the East stands have students in them.

[Fyrebyrd]

well ya, I realize that. I'm a student at Bradley. I was just saying, if they even got a few rows in their, its scary. They had maybe 20 or so students on the floor who were in peoples ears all night. Sorry for the confusion

[Fetz86]

sounds like our place last year, for the students i mean.

DUB, sorry if I sounded negative about KK, but what I really meant was that, like you, I'd have actually thought Drake would have won if they kept the right mix on the floor.
Only one of your players netted 30 minutes oin the floor, while 3 Braves were well over that.

Drake had a nice little run early in the second half, took a 4 point lead....Dr Tom took out Stewart, Grant and Young and put in Emmenecker, Bryant and Houston.....BU immediately went on a 5-0 run to take the lead.

Dr Tom puts the starters back in....with 12:28 to go, Drake has a 5 point lead and momentum....Bradley is in serious foul trouble...and Drake is already in the double-bonus. So, what does the wise Dr do? He makes the same subsitutions as in the above paragraph......BU immediately goes on 7-0 run....lead gone, momentum gone, game gone. (I need a banging my head emoticon here).

Funny, I didn't notice Les resting Ruffin or Franklin. Dr Tom's substitutions are just driving Drake fans insane.

Da Coach....if I had known you were there, I woulda offered to buy you a cold one or six (that's about how many I had after the game )

[flipper]

drake's subs too much.plus they aren't as good as bu.

DUB...somebody must've heard you.

The Des Moines Register is reporting that Drake coach, Dr. Tom
will shake up his lineup and shift Korver and Keita to reserve roles.
