Drake has heard all the disrespect from this forum and the main MVC forum. Wow this surprises me. I made a comment here back in December that I thought they could win some games they probably shouldn't win, but didn't think it would happen in March!

Wish we could've caught Belmont on a game like this. They're all out of sorts in this one. Drake needs to finish them though, Belmont is too lethal to go away quiet.

[kochrab]

Wow. Looks like Drake is going to do it. First 9 seed to take down a 1 seed. Hate that they mentioned our downfall as a 1 seed when Drake was the 8 seed though...

[kochrab]

Down goes Belmont! Door is becoming even wider. Gotta take care of business today.

Would have been really nice to be in the 4/5 game today..

Yeah, maybe, but I don't want any part of UIC till the end if at all. Hard to plan on something like this happening.

I thought Drake looked worse than anyone in the conference the last time we played them.
Don't overlook the situation of the long layoff & new venue vs just having won on the same floor.
Belmond overconfident to start?? Drake nothing to lose & tired of the noise??
Does this affect anything about us and the NIT?

Belmont will get the guaranteed home game in the NIT now, not us. We would still almost certainly be in, but significantly higher chance now we are on the road.

Murray State is absolutely abysmal at playing defense. Soft team. Domon is Charmin soft.

[kochrab]

Good grief Murray just folds under pressure. Making UIC look unstoppable.

[BCPanther]

Murray looks like a bunch of guys that are already hunting the next check for next year...

[QCPanther05]

What is going on this tournament?!!! Drake putting a hundo on Belmont?! UIC taking Murray to the woodshed? Anything is possible tonight.

I think we would want Valpo to win this one between them and BU, correct me if I'm wrong there. But having won both against BU definitely sets up more of a challenge to win all 3.

We split against both of them I'm pretty sure. We won at home and lost on the road to each of them.

Derp. You're right. But still, I think I'd rather have Valpo. We lost to both of them when we were short-handed.
