Drake going down is good for UNI

Re: Drake going down is good for UNI

drake was playing as well as anyone in america and the early MVC conference tournament came back to bite them. no one wants a long layoff like that going into a lose-and-go-home situation

Interesting point. I would've loved to have seen Drake play a power program in the tourney - Duke, North Carolina, UCLA, Michigan St., etc. I'm not saying they would've won, but with their unique style and a short prep it would've been very interesting to watch.

The Valley will be back in mid-major prominence soon enough. The conference needs wins over major programs, and that will occur once the younger players in the league gain some experience. Stinnet, Eldridge, Koch, etc., form a nice foundation.
