+xAnd your evidence for that statement is?? I'm not sure he reads anything that anyone posts so I wouldn't hold your breath on getting a response.

I agree JW, it’s a tough thing to balance when thinking of an at large bid.

Just to be clear because of an individual's earlier response, you can't blame DD for this at all.
I said coaches could have rested Roman when it appeared it ~may~ have been a further aggravation of the ankle. Definitely a freak accident though and its wrong to blame DD. Apologies to all on that one.

We will welcome Tank when he can play. But this team can win and they will fight. They just need to keep that spirit alive and fight for all they can in the tournament. Tabks return will be even more exciting if they do.

Well that's a kick to the old bean bag. Let's just hope we win tonight and preserve our post-season opportunities.

+xWell that's a kick to the old bean bag. Let's just hope we win tonight and preserve our post-season opportunities. This quote makes me believe they are confident of at least the NIT... DeVries did say that "everything is on track" for Hemphill returning for any potential postseason games, whether that's the NCAA Tournament or the NIT.
From listening to the media talking heads I am not so sure. Win Friday probably NIT and win Saturday probably NCAA. Loss Friday probably CBI and loss Saturday probably NIT. Obviously win Sunday would be best. With basically all rules except for the NCAA auto bid suspended and reduced tournament sizes I fear leagues like the Valley will not get bids deserved using the excuse of covid (I mean money, no really covid). I am hoping the selection committee will do the right thing and give credit to a team who played every game, whose conference is the only one to play every conference game, and who at maximum will have only have 4 losses.

Think you're giving to much credit to the selection committee. NCAA rarely does the right thing.

What does everyone think that there has not been an announcement re Hemphill.....good sign or bad sign? Do you think that the Drake people think the selection committee does not care one way or the other and have already made up their minds? Do you think that Drake thinks that announcing that Hemphill won't play will definitely seal our no bid fate? The "cone of silence" is mysterious, Maxwell Smart. Did I miss something?

+xGreat news. Glad coach got to tell the selection committee via CBS Sports. I would have liked it to be more certain. It concerns me that he isn't yet cleared by doctors to play. Jerry Palm dismissed earlier expectations saying its meaningless unless he is medically cleared to play.

I’m guessing DeVries wouldn’t have made the comments he made without talking to medical staff first.
