I was going back and forth all game about which team I'd rather play. Drake has some really quick players to go along with Devries, and of course Brodie, but not much interior depth. WSU is really big, but didn't impress me a lot tonight. At the end of the day, you don't really know how everyone is going to match up until they hit the court.
I really didn't like the local angle of the seeding either, as instate rivals sometimes throw everything out the window. Funny how the two things that irritated me most (beyond being disrespected with the 8th overall seed) was being in the same part of the bracket as Drake and BYU, and neither of those things mattered.

KU ain't making any noise this tournament but might be nice for big 12 cred to avoid them crapping the bed in the 1st round. Either way **** kansas.
KU is just not that good with their injury and depth problems. It's been obvious for months but nobody seems to want to believe it.
You know the stands would have been full of hawkroaches on Saturday.
The motivation factor is real.
WSU will want to survive and advance like anybody, they might have a chip because the Big Ten demoted them...but they don't have some 365 days a year axe to grind specifically against ISU players.
A bad Drake team beat our best team ever, we don't need that in the dance, this is a good thing.
Now we just need someone to upset Uconn and if not, it may as well be us.

Both we and Houston struggled for the next few games after our second showdown. I think each team took a lot out of the other one. Hilariously, Houston found themselves in time for Kansas.
Always root for Kansas to lose. Come on now.
If Drake was the most physical team you’ve played this year….you got another thing coming boy
They interviewed one of them in a link earlier in the thread.

Kind of feels like we’re built to maul teams like Washington State. We can bang inside, they’re offensive sets and skills aren’t scary at all from today’s game.
I have a friend who is an Okie State grad and he also said rumors they may look at Alford.
