I really liked their hire, didn't realize he brought his guys with him. D2 to D1 is a big jump and they look like they could compete well in Valley.

First time watching them and I've been impressed too. Athletcally they're what you'd expect but playing pretty fundamentally sound.

Drake now up 11 under 8 minutes to go

 

[TABack]

Struggling against the full court press

Drake now up 11 under 8 minutes to go

Pretty impressive for a huge rebuild, including a bunch of lower level players from his old team.

 

[FerShizzle]

this announcer: "drake is going to have to score 6-8 more points to win."

um what?

 

[JP4CY]

Drakes coach is very active on the sidelines

 

[FerShizzle]

drake looks like a pesky ass team that i am glad ISU isnt playing in the knapp center or at the well.

 

[JP4CY]

That Stirtz is a decent player.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Very impressive win by Drake. I thought they would really struggle this year with all their losses and bringing in lower level transfers. I only watched the last 7 minutes, but that didn't look like a team that was fluking its way to an upset.

I didnt realize the coach brought 4 starters with him. They looked extremely cohesive.

 

[JP4CY]

Karl Ravech sounds "different."

Looks like maybe 80, 90 fans at this Oklahoma St game in Charleston.
Atleast that'll make them feel like they're playing at home.

they controlled that whole game

Okie St coach looks cantankerous.

Okie St coach looks cantankerous.

Steve Lutz is on his 3rd team in the last 4 years. 2 years at TAMUCC, one year at Western Kentucky and now Okie State. He got both of the other schools to the big dance.

I didn't know Feast Week was already starting.

This time of year continuity plays a major role. See KSU and their hired mercenaries they are a mess
Kind of like Indiana bringing over 13 transfers from Liberty. Got off to great start and kept it rolling. Maybe Drake will do same

But guy is supposed to be heck of a coach

 

[SolterraCyclone]

Okie State looks horrid on offense. Big guys can’t finish and look generally uncoordinated. And they can’t shoot the 3. If they can’t score in transition, they can’t score

There was like 20-25 Drake fans, assuming most were family. I'm sure Charleston is nice but not really a huge destination place.

Baylor getting motor boated. This team may be good in January, but they really are lacking right now.
