OK. Drakes RPI dropped from 10 to 14. Additionally its not noted as a bad loss. But their win at Bradley is noted as a quality win.

Weird.

It really kills me. One of these days I'm going to have a heart attack. Dead before I'm 30, great. Start off like that, then melt down, then three 3's in a row, then go back to being down by 10, then the shot clock matching the game clock for 1 last posession, an early shot to pull ahead by 1, a drake chance, two drake misses.

im emotionally beat.

Sure,.....I was just over it and had calmed down...now you have to bring it all up AGAIN. Let it go...I need rest.

According to the little score tracker thingy on the side of the ESPN article, we held Drake scoreless starting at the 4:58 minute mark of the 2nd half. THAT IS AWESOME!!!

[ph]

Does this mean we have something Drake does not. A road win vs top 50 RPI?

Hang on I have it on Tivo let me replay the last 4.3 seconds for you.

Thats why I never was really impressed with Drake. Sure they beat SIU at home but so did we last year (when they were better)

Da Coach, Big Mike, and I are on the way home from Des Moines, what a comeback. Great effort by everyone, that's payback for earlier this year.

By the way, we are the good luck charm!

Agreed that it should go both ways.

Drake has put together a great season but looking at their non-conference schedule, they hardly played anyone this year. Chicago St? NC Central? Texas PanAm? I'm afraid they won't represent the MVC that well in the NCAA's.

[Bravesfan]

Nice highlights of the game just now on Sportscenter. The announcer prefaced the highlights by saying "how much of a letdown would Drake have after winning their first Missouri Valley Conference championship in 37 years? You're about to find out."

Nice! I'm sure the Drake faithful are happy he said that! But that's why you play the games.

[Braveman]

PLus they butchered Theron's name, and Emenecker's...

But they got JC's right!

Thatta way to go JC!

Talking about this on the phone....IF DU loses in the BB and then loses their first game in StL. where does that put them? We were thinking the 11-13 range for a seed and a very tough first round game! What a turn around!

Most charming BUBraves06 thank you thank you so very much!!! Always be there for us. Just do what ever it takes go BU. I really want 22 plus wins this year!!!
