**** Men's NCAA Tournament ****

[Jimmy McGill]

7 fouls in 7 minutes by refs..... 3 on WSU

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Why can’t we go find a Brodie.

 

[cmhawks99]

Yeah...cmac....he's either the most Heralded/lauded deep bench level talent in Iowa history or the guy that started over Keegan because his Dad was coach. Not a lot of in between views.


Connor was okay as a part time role player and his Dad is the reason he played so many minutes and most of the complaints are really aimed at Fran for Nepotism. Some people go nuts because he's coach's son and play's like a coach;s son. That year he started ahead of Keegan was Fran's biggest boneheaded selfish move ever and doomed that team with Garza.

There is a reason you don't see players like CMAC in NBA....below the rim guys whose only talent is playing smart and hard is not good enough as the competition increases. Same for Sweet16...all those Sweet16 teams if they have guys like CMAC that play smart----those guys also guys can jump, run, and dunk and play above the rim as well as doing the little things that CMAC did. CMAC went straight to coaching...if he were talented he'd be in g-league.

Well for what it’s worth, there’s a reason you don’t see most as in 99% of players in the NBA…

You know, so there’s that…🤷‍♂️

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Or the nc state dude. We need a guy that has eaten and extra meal or two.

 

[cmhawks99]

Incidentally, I change my opinion of Drake and their defense. It’s been pretty spot on the last 5-8 minutes.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

check that 8 fous in 13 minutes. This is B.S.

 

[cmhawks99]

I sort of agree with this. McDermott has better guards than we ever do. I would call them more finess, like Iowa but McDermott finds guys that change the game on the defensive end. Give me any able bodied 7’1” guy like kaulkbrenner and our defense would be better.

Agree on all accounts in particular the guard play.

 

[pocha444444]

#3 for Oakland has taken 355 shots this season...347 3 pointers. ONLY EIGHT 2 POINT FG'S!!

That's INSANE

Devan Bawinkel is impressed

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Does the NCAA not realize that there are more t.v. viewers in Iowa than in Pullman, Washington?

 

[StormHawk42]

Why can’t we go find a Brodie.

A lot of credit to him. He came to Drake and was basically Ogundele. He changed his body over a few years and became dominant in the MVC.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Enright and Overton combined for 5 pts.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Drake sucks at free throws but they have good guards and play tough defense. Sign me up for Devries

 

[omahawki]

Creighton is exactly a better version of Iowa. And another team I’ve actually followed pretty closely for years. I’ve watched them play several times this year, every year really.

Kalkenberg has helped them improve their defense just by his shear presence, but they are definitely not a lockdown defensive team. They have had some success, however!

Huh? Creighton's program is light years ahead of Fran and Iowa. Defense - recruiting - facilities(now) - University support.....the list goes on. Mcdermott is 1 of the top head coaches right now in Mens College basketball. Creighton just locked him up for life because there has been so much interest from power 5 programs looking to hire him. You do realize Creighton has the #7 ranked recruiting class for 2024 by 247 sports.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Drake has it going now.........

 

[amahawk]

7 fouls in 7 minutes by refs..... 3 on WSU

Drake playing 5 on 8!

Yes, as I said, I know quite a bit about Creighton and they are a much much much better version of Iowa and no they don’t play good enough defense yet.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Damn. Dumb foul and a turnover by Brodie. Tighten up!

 

[83Hawk]

Come on, Drake!

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Drake needs to hit their damn free throws

 

[Hawksfor3]

4 fouls on Brodie. yikes.

 

[StormHawk42]

Would be a damn shame if Drake loses this. They’ve outplayed them most of the game.

 

[omahawki]

Watching Drake/WSU bang in the lane and down low is like the anti-Iowa. I would hope Owen and some of the other hawks get in the weight room for sure.

 

[HFan1981]

It's really hard to put a team away when they are in the penalty with 13+ minutes left

 

[Hawksfor3]

Rut Roe.

 

[83Hawk]

Awww...Brodie!

 

[Steamboat529529]

Drake is choking this one away.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nice job driving in and drawing contact.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Unfortunately there is nothing to indicate this happens.

 

[83Hawk]

These missed FT's could come back to bite Drake.

6-14, wow, just terrible

 

[83Hawk]

Poor shot there.

 

[ddeanHawk]

Tucker has been underwhelming

 

[StormHawk42]

Choked

 

[Hawksfor3]

Drake playing themselves.

 

[Steamboat529529]

Why does the Missouri Valley constantly choke in games like this?!?

 

[DTP2]

Didn't Drake do this against Miami last year?

 

[83Hawk]

Tucker has been underwhelming

Agree. Has not played his best tonight.

 

[83Hawk]

Dang.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Jesus Christ, Drake! They are totally collapsing here at the end. They can't even hang onto the ball.

 

[DTP2]

Ugly finish.
