Actually, you didn't get what I referred to. I referred to the invited at-large bids not the automatic ones....

We might have a solid 25-9 season and still not get a damn thing. At least three non-conference losses, five regular season MVC losses, and lose in the final at Arch Madness. The 15-5 regular season looks short of winning the title for the automatic...

Yes, right up there with Duke. Probably, a Drake Law School Alumni had someone by the Jimmy....

They also got beat as a 12 to Miami. If they were on Furman's spot as a 13 they could have defeated Virginia. Who knows maybe they could have made the round of 16. Really splitting hairs the difference of 12 vs 13....

Injuries have nothing to do with the committee's decision. They look at body of work, SOS, net ratings etc. To them it's a bunch of numbers a game is either 1 loss or one win. True, it is logical that injuries play a part in the statistics, but a loss...

The 10 seed from last season resides in the A10, now. Last season Drake was the very last at-large because the committee was incompetent. This season Drake was legit, but got seeded one line too high. They were really a 13 seed....

We're fortunate the A10 schedules us. They don't need us. They only schedule us to get home and home. They would have to travel to ACC or Big East venues.

The would've could've should of. So, that would have given Bradley eight losses. You laughed at 8 losses getting in last week. It doesn't matter that we have 12, 14, or 16 in the league. We need fewer non-conference games because traveling is expensive....

The days of Creighton and the Shockers have long passed. We're a shell of that, now. Drake was not good enough last season. They got in with the last bid because someone owed them a favor or two....

Sixteen team league with 22 games is better due to less non-conference travel. Our league is not good enough to get at large bids to either the Dance or NIT most seasons.The unfortunate part is it won't happen because the four new schools would not make...

Agreed, I thought at first that Pock might red shirt, but he looks physically ready along with perimeter shooting ability. He would appear a better scorer than both Henry and Betz. So, I would now lean more toward playing him along with all the other...

We got Northern Iowa, SIU, Bradley, and the Shockers in 2006. Yeah, a long time ago. I think Creighton and Missouri State made the NIT that season too. I think Creighton and the Shockers got in the last two seasons they were here. Not 100 percent sure....

We could be 25-9 on Selection Sunday. Does 25-9 make the last 11 seed playing in the First Four? No, we would have to be more like 27-7. The 25-9/26-8, would be one of the last bids to the NIT....

Mast is right there with Tucker DeVries. Probably, not better but he's even. He made that team this season and every player got better because of him. If he leaves they're not much. I believe Henry, Leons, and Travanien are all gone too. Henry and Leons...

They don't make the top four next season. It's Belmont, Northern Iowa, SIU, and Drake unless something unforeseen happens. Bradley is maybe, 6th. That's if Mast stays. They're screwed if he transfers to greener pastures. They won't get squat to replace...

Not too many will go home and home. I liked the bracket buster, but apparently, it ran its course. It's just tough every season for us. Hence, I think it would be better with 22 MVC games regardless of how many are in the league....

We do have a ways to go. Miami probably beats Drake in a close game. If things fall better the MVC is a 2 bid League next season. Some may say that's not much improvement, but it's the best we can do, for now....

Wisconsin crushed Bradley, tonight.

Hutson gets us over the hump assuming we don't lose anyone in the block other than Phyfe. You never know about the new Freshman and we need more rebounding and points in the paint. We are the favorite for now. True, Peksari might walk, but we have depth...

He could see some minutes tonight in Phoenix. Dragic, Allen, and Middleton have issues and are out, tonight. The other rookie Beauchamp could play too.
