Arch Madness Quarterfinal - vs Valpo - March 7

[QCPanther05]

The private donors that pay Jake’s salary take that money and pay the coach less and funnel it to some key players.

DII coach and DII players seem to work pretty damn well at Drake. I wouldn’t care if the head coach leaves after a year or two. Longevity has create staleness at UNI and Iowa.

Use the money you have more wisely.

you are not going to attract new money with the current status.

100%. It’s not our place to tell these donors how to spend their money, but if they are paying him for program success, they aren’t getting their money’s worth. It’s been nine years since we last went to the tournament. They’re paying 1m a year for us to sit home in March.

I’ve seen a lot of people on here say that we’re aren’t competitive because we don’t have a practice facility, no fan support, etc. Give me a break. A team that plays in a high school gym with pull out bleachers just ended our season.

I hope Drake wins 100 billion to zero.

[BCPanther]

After my experience with Bradley fans in the arena today I hope they never win another game ever again. Holy schnikes what a pack of dbags.

How many N words today? Only heard three last night, two of them at their own players.

Didn't even go over there today because I didn't want to deal with them.

That team has a practice facility and, most likely, a better funded collective.

I can tell you this. IMO, if we got rid of Jake we’d be worse not better.

Anybody wanna take a stab at who the last football playing tournament champion was?

How many football playing schools have won regular season titles in the last decade?

Might be a correlation there...

[CyCarp]

I hope Drake wins 100 billion to zero.

Unfortunately, if we want to play another game, we probably need Bradley to win tomorrow hope Drake slithers in. TBH, that's gotta be our best case scenario.

[Mudrafan]

Well, if anyone wondered if our game was a fluke, Valpo is leading Bradley going into the half. So I think we can back off the "we suck" talk a little bit. Valpo is just playing out of their minds. Throw in the fact that our team was sick, perfect formula for what happened.

The frustration with this basketball program didn’t just start with last night nor did it start this year. It’s been a slow bleed

Indiana State in 2011

Wichita State 2017

.

Well, we tied Loyola for the regular season title a couple back.

[Wxcpanther]

Well, we tied Loyola for the regular season title a couple back.

That's his point.

[UNIChippewa]

Well, we tied Loyola for the regular season title a couple back.

We most certainly sure as hell did not!

We beat them straight up in the regular season conference finale in overtime to win the regular season title! Come on now! AJ had 32 points; ended up being his last game at the McLeod Center. I remember watching it on ESPN2 and losing my mind (in joy).

I was at that game. Definitely the best panther moment I’ve witnessed personally. It was epic.
