Could #14 Drake beat other ranked teams?

Re: Could #14 Drake beat other ranked teams?

How many titles do those schools have 9yr? I bet it is less than UNC and the like. Listen, we know they COULD beat those teams. Maybe once in every 50 tries. One argument that was made was that they would put a 'beat down' on those teams. I assure you that would NOT happen.

"They can hang with the best of the best of the mid-majors, and most of the upper teams. But I still don't think there is anyway they beat UNC, Duke, Kansas, Georgetown, etc..."

evidently clenz disagrees with you.

Do you think Drake is better than those teams? If so, your dumb...

Re: Could #14 Drake beat other ranked teams?

no, but that wasnt the question. however, feel free to change the subject, so you dont look ignorant.

Re: Could #14 Drake beat other ranked teams?

What exactly am I ignorant about? Im ignorant because I dont think Drake is as good as those teams mentioned?

Drake would lose to UNC by 20 points in my opinion. And I WOULD put money on that. I just hope we get a chance to see if I am right or not.

Will you make that any #1 seed instead of just UNC? If so I will take that bet, and we will get to see it in the third round. Say $50?

Re: Could #14 Drake beat other ranked teams?

Well Clenz you kind of changed your story there. You went from saying Drake couldn't hang with teams ranked 15-25 and outside the top 25 to saying now they couldn't beat teams ranked in the top 7 or so. A little difference.

This is exactly right.

*WINNER*: Dumbest post of the Thread.

So...06Panther...Exactly which teams WOULD you put money on beating UNC? Or Memphis? Or Kansas? Doesn't take a lot of guts to say that a top-seed would be hard for ANY team to beat in March...

Drake impressed me yesterday. They play great team basketball. They can hang with ANYONE. The argument is not "are they AS good as UNC." No, of course they are not as talented.

Could they beat UNC if they played in the tournament? Heck ya they could. How could anyone watch the game yesterday and NOT think so.

Give Drake some credit. I think they're better than most of us believe. I'm done betting against them. I think they've got the stones to do damage in the tournament. The only thing that scares me is their depth. Not a very deep team.

Uh, they are deep. Keno just choses to have a rotation of 7-8 guys because those are good enough

Young, Houston, Cox, Korver, and Emmenecker make up the production for that team.

Drake is not going to win many games if Heemskerk, White, and Michael Hall have to play significant roles in the scoring department.

Their starting five are their bread and butter. After that, they don't have much.

Re: Could #14 Drake beat other ranked teams?

baryenbruch (sp?), parker, and hall can all make shots if called upon. keno can sub freely without having a huge dropoff. this is one of their strengths

how anyone can still disrespect drake at this point is beyond me.

I don't disrespect them at all. I just don't think their bench are even close to being as good as their starting five.
