Ill St was a dissapointment this year and barely even survived last night. Throwing that out the window here, it's a team starting 4 seniors in a do or die game, with a couple of them being very good, against a team who they had good success against this season, winning both games.
For this game here now, drake is down a starting guard in Wilkins, while Ill St actually adds a potentially helpful bench piece in Jefferson, who missed a bunch of games this year including both the drake games. He was putting up numbers early before the injury. I am not expecting anything amazing from him here, but he's shot 40% from 3 on the season and helps provide them some spacing when he's out there.
All in all, senior laden team in what's been a good matchup for them, with drake actually weakened here losing wilkins and ill state potentially a little stronger here gaining jefferson. Like Ill St's chances to win this game

Again, squad starting 4 seniors, not a great team given the disappointing conference record, but a team that can be pretty tough, and I have a hard time seeing them letting a young mediocre clara team be the one to knock them out of this tourney. Clara won the only meeting this year but SD's PG Wright missed that game.
Ultimately just pretty confident the vet team will play better in this setting and get this W here. Obviously a win but no cover is possible here, and the line seems a tad higher than it needs to be, but banking on that being for a reason and they W by 10ish.

Never mind just found it wow big loss with already losing Norton early in season
yea they do seem to have the coaching in place to overcome this kind of thing, but just not seeing it here against a team that already beat them twice.

All of that, Drake still favored by 3 told you the winner. Illinois State is a terrible team.
omg look boys it's captain hindsight!
Actually it would be kind of funny if there was a poster named captain hindsight that goes into people's threads after games saying why they lost. Douchey but briefly funny.
I dont think the line being -3 "told you the winner" so much, considering the team's records and whatnot. Perhaps, but it's not that clear. Ill St being terrible didnt stop them from beating healthier drake team twice.
Either way, I certainly got suckered here, hindsight or not. Def feel like a total sucker for this no question.
This team completely mailed it in lol. Drake is actually down 2 starters. Leading scorer McGlynn got hurt early in the game. Which makes it even more incredible how much they're destroying these herbs. This is a team that clearly cant wait to get home and smoke some weed and such.

I'll let these guys stick it to me again lol. I take this line to mean mcglynn is out or at least limited. They clearly have a great coach, but can they really overcome this again? Unlike that disjointed borderline disgraceful illinois state team, uni at least shown some improvemrnt as the season went on and they played a healthier drake team tough twice, winning once. They at least have a pretty good coach and will give a stronger effort. Just gotta think will be tough drake to play so well again with roster weakened.

Obviously teams going oppo directions, but i think tech will be facing a rabid wounded animal today on their home court. The cyclone players came together to air it oit after the last debacle and should get a much stronger effort out of them here, and theyve proven they can beat tech. Pressure on tech to get that conference title too. One of those situations where throwing current form out the window, similar to butler vs xavier last week.

liq- totals ain't my thing. Haven't played a total since like 1973. Or at least 2011.
It was quite weird that the captain hindsight guy used a rare post to come at me about the poor play, but I would've at least gotten a chuckle out of it had he actually posted under the name captain hindsight. What a missed opportunity there.

Again, tough matchup with Xavier's bigs. But that aura of invincibility X had going on with their win streak is over, and the Johnnies didn't have Heron in the first game. Still think they're the better team. Xavier is highly turnover prone which the Johnnies should be able to take advantage of and help offset rebounding deficit. The Johnnies have been able to bounce back when they've had to this year and this is another spot for that.
I also don't see Marshall having such a monster game like the first matchup when he went for 31.
After seeing how depaul followed up the Johnnies win by smashing gtown, I'm not holding that L against the Johnnies as much. Strus was freakin unreal that game, just incredible.
