I still don't think I would like Enright if he was on our team.

100% agree.

Refs predetermined Drake for this years tournament. Some awful calls this game.

Me either. Got no use for floppers. Never have, never will.

A great comeback by ISU but didn't execute down the stretch. Drake having been there and done that showed their moxie and was able to finish it. Hopefully the close loss to the defending champion will help ISU’s case for an at large birth in the big dance. For the game Drake shot 31-60 overall, 11-18 from 3. Tucker DeVries had 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Brodie and Walker each had 17 points. All 5 starters for ISU were in double figures led by Jason Kent who’s had 22 points and 9 rebounds but 2 late Ft’s that could have made a difference. They were 31-59 overall but just 7-24 from 3 which ended up costing them the game. I sure hope and believe both teams get in. Having been at all 11 games again unfortunately I saw a lot of bad basketball. But the last two games made up for it. I sure hope papa DeVries gets hired elsewhere so he can take his kid with him. He’s just too good. Except when guarded by Malevy Leons.

Really can't argue- nobody on UNI stood out so the 5th spot was Connor's.
But largely overlooked was the (once again) INCREDIBLE defensive play of Malevy Leons. I would love to know who voted for the All-Tournament Team.
Ask any coach- DEFENSE is at least half the game and very few double digit scorers put the effort into also being good on the defensive end.
Malevy showed some of the best defense this season down in St. Louis but didn't get much attention for it.

All the coaches respect how good Malevy is on defense since he was voted the MVC defensive player of the year twice. I think you have to put up good offensive numbers to make the all tour. team. I believe had he ave. 15 points a game in this Tour. he would have made that team. I also believe having to guard DeVries effected his shot which led to him not scoring as much in that game.

A team that doesn't make it to the finals is lucky to get anyone on the All Tournament team, let alone two.
Fortunate and glad to see Connor made it.
