        We need to play better than we did in the AAC Tournament. More team ball. Less hero ball. Play smart, play hard, play together. Play like trained police dogs, not like feral dogs. Know the difference between come here and sic 'em.

            How does Drake's defense compare to all the defensive-minded teams of our conference? Do they have anyone that could cause TE some problems?

              Drake's AdjD on KP is 120. It would be the 2nd worst in the AAC

                Reposting from other thread—-So relieved. Not thrilled with having to play Drake. NCAA tries to make too many statements. I feel the same way about Loyola maybe having to play Illinois in the 2nd round. I’m just relieved that I don’t have to think about the NIT in the least. We had better get focused on only one game. Drake, and the entire Valley, is far more engaged to play WSU than WSU is to play Drake. We haven’t played a complete half of basketball all year. We learned our lessons. Now is the time.

                  They won't be as athletic across the board as pretty much anyone either. As bad as USF, Tulane....etc are. They do have some athletes.

                  Shockers will get shots I think. But will they make them?

                      At least we have a head coach that has been in the Valley. Right guy to hopefully get our guys' attention

                        Have we played an MVC team since we left the Valley?

                          The counter is their offense would be second best in the AAC behind Houston
