I didn't realize that Drake's average age of its starters is older than the starters of FIVE NBA teams currently. That's a ton of senior leadership, and if Drake's gonna be a #11 or #12 seed in the Dance, they'll reach a Sweet Sixteen as well as they're playing today.
Drake's playing on another level, this one was over 10 minutes ago.
Saluki Insider? I barely know her!
I don’t know but about you guys but I am enjoying this game a great deal 😊

I like Drake and think they’re the best shot at a run in 2 weeks for the MVC

I'm just...SHOCKED!!! 😆
I know Bradley finished this season well. But I still don’t think they’re that much better than us if at all. Really wish we would’ve matched up with them on Saturday instead of Drake.
They play similar to SIU so it makes it a better matchup for us. They just do everything SIU does a little better, especially on offense. They have way more length and athleticism too than SIU. Leons is one of the best defenders we’ve seen in the Valley, he hasn’t hit a jump shot all weekend though.

I agree with most of this. Their length is a problem for us, and most likely the main difference. We were so stinking close to splitting with them and getting a share of the title. We’ve both played Drake similar. Beat them at home and got smoked twice (Bradley is still finishing their second slaughtering at the moment).
Like I put in a post above. Wardle is in year 7, Mullins in 4. And we’re not far from them at all. I’m not sure Wardle is better, at least long term. That’s why I preach patience on this site. Mullins isn’t at fault for the 15 year drought. Partially for the last 4, but not 15. The program is trending up I still believe. But even I know the offense needs to get better.
If this trend continues in the championship game today Drake is doing to Bradley what they did to the Dawgs yesterday I agree that Drake will make noise in the big dance but I like our future better than Drake's because how to you replace 5 and 6 year starters
I will also note that Mullins need to improve in some aspects of the offense but the philosophy and sets are similar to what Drake and Bradley do it is just they have more consistent finishers and the way they look today Bradley needs a new offense so in my opinion all things offense are relative to a particular day or streak
Southern also gave it more of a fight than Bradley currently is that is why I am glad Mullins is our coach and if some of our seniors use their covid year I believe the conference can bitch about us like we bitch about the gray beards of Drake
Drake currently with seven players between 4-12 points, and yet nobody's taken ten shots yet. When you've got multiple options to score, and it's a balanced attack like this, it just opens up the floor so much. When's the last time we had a team like that?

As long as DeVries is there, they’ll be ahead of SIU long-term. I have a feeling he’s gonna be gone though after this.
Connor Enright is going to be a pest for Drake the next 3 years
@salukiworld he drives me nuts. Dude flops every time he’s touched and almost always gets the call.
