Drake plays at 6 PM Friday against the winner of Murray St/Valpo.

I hope they can put this one behind them and just play their game.

I think they will be lit up, gotta believe DD/Penn/Sturtz/DJ will have the team up for it. 

If betting was legal in Texas I think I'd have a sneaky bet on SIU, defense goes a long way now. Also think there's a decent chance Belmont gets Bradley again.

I feel good about our chances. As others have mentioned, this is the first time that Coach D will have a healthy team in St. Louis.

Murray State won both regular season matchups against Valpo, including an overtime win today that was decided by Murray State hitting a free throw with 0.5 seconds to go in the overtime period. Obviously from the Drake perspective, we dominated both games against Murray State but barely won the games against Valpo.

A Saturday game against SIU will likely be very physical. I would not count on a repeat of the dominating start in Des Moines by any stretch.

Sunday, obviously we're hoping Belmont beats Bradley if that's how the bracket shakes out.

If you want to buy the shirt the team will be wearing on the bench at this tournament and any other postseason opportunities, here it is. It's available at the on-campus bookstore inside the Olmsted Center as well.

Personally, I really hate the "new chapter" on a shirt idea.

We haven't won the auto bid right? So we could be adding a new chapter. 

I just dislike marketing gimmicks, especially on a shirt. 

I also agree, I would buy the shirt without the new chapter printed on it. I wonder if this is every Adidas school or just Drake. 

I think we would prefer to see Murray State over Valpo stylistically. 

If you don't like the shirt - you don't have to buy it.... I remember a poster here telling me that once. 

Football Alum who thinks we can DUBetter than Todd Stepsis and his God First, God Second, Football Third approach

It is an Adidas gimmick/March slogan. You can buy them for Kansas and other schools, too. 

Drake enters as a slight favorite.

I think I saw the game will be on CBS Sports. I don’t subscribe to that, so will it also be on the Bally Midwest channel? If I remember right, they televised all the tournament games last year.


Here we go Bulldogs, here we go…

If Bally is still in business on Friday I would assume the Friday game will be on Bally. Idk if Saturday games would tho, seems like when something is on CBSSN it’s only on that.

Win and advance baby. Hope the team gets a good practice in today and comes out firing tomorrow.

Friday: Bally/NBCS Chicago/ESPN+
Saturday: CBSSN
Sunday: CBS

-Looks like it will be Drake-Murray State tomorrow at 6.

The big question for Valpo is, will Matt Lottich be fired this week or next week?

Maybe tonight.

Can Valpo afford to fire him? They couldn’t even afford to bus their pep band to the tourney

Sure looks like their band is here

Murray played out of their heads
