FWIW, the talking heads on CBS agreed that the Drake was in the NCAA tourney, but that it would behoove the Valley if they put the auto bid in the bag. 

I tell ya people, I’m startin’ to feel good! The Valley is going be a multi-bid league for the first time in three decades (or so it seems), the baseball Dawgs are going for 11-0 this afternoon, Daylight Saving Time is just days away, and I’ve lost 8 lbs over 14 days! Let’s go!!

Pretty nice when you can throw length and athleticism like Williamson and Uguak on a talented smaller guard like Yusefu. Loyola has some great pieces and is so well-rounded. Props to them.

What do we think Loyola actually deserves as a seed? 5/6? I know the committee wants them to play a 1 seed but they are legit and will give any team a good fight with their defense.

Drake putting in a hell of an effort. Getting Hemphill back with how they are playing really should get them in the tournament. Would be a shame if they got left out.

Drake is on the top 25 bubble while healthy they should be a no doubt at-large bid.

If they would have gotten one of their big non-con games against Richmond (at the time top 25) or Wisconsin I would say 4/5, but as things stand a 6 would seem fair. Anything but 8/9.

I'm not saying Drake won't make it, I'm just saying that I've seen this movie before and it typically ends the same way...........with a team like Drake (MVC) NOT getting in.

if the Drake IS left out, expect DeVries and Doug Elgin to give the committee the ol’ Terry Collins...

I'll be amazed if Drake gets in. The ncaa and the networks would much rather have a team like Michigan St than Drake. This will just be a replay of past midmajor screwings.

If Drake hadn't lost their top two, i believe they would be the mvc champs. If Krutwig does not come back, I expect Drake to be preseason favorite next year.

Yeah, agree. Even if Krutwig does not come back, it's hard to pick anyone outside of Drake, Loyola, and Missouri State in the Top 3 next year.

And that will include Devries's son coming in as a freshman who's a pretty good ball player himself
