1971 was the last time. Maurice John was the coach.

Does a play in game count?

It does if u win.

Oh, that line is to mark the bench area.

Great, another eye burner

Great, another eye burner

There's only 1 first 4 game anyone was interested in. And that doesn't tip until 9:00 central time. Good job on the schedule.

That's awesome for Drake. I can't imagine your team not winning an NCAA tournament game for 50 years.

According to a lot of our fans we’re headed that way

The two 16 seeds look better than the two 11 seeds - at least right now.

You sound like a Hawkeye fan from 2014.

Them's fighting words.

ehhh. Do people really care about two 11 seed P5 teams? I'd rather watch the mid majors go down to the wire.

Seems like when Iowa played in a play in game most agreed it didn't count. Also I don't see the WSU coach lasting long.

It doesn't matter what people "agree". Officially it is a tournament game. Your opinion about it doesn't matter.

Plus, Iowa lost that game. Drake won. Drake counts!!

Drake's win over Wichita State is their first tournament win in 50 years. That is the 5th longest drought between tournament wins.

Texas Southern is now 2-8 all-time in the NCAA Tournament. Their only other win was 64-46 over North Carolina Central in the 2018 First Fou...

Iowa's loss also counted.

That was a pretty exciting game. It felt like Wichita State was the better team for much of the game, but Drake just kept coming.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Before today, only 7 tournament games had been played in Bloomington, Indiana.

With tonight's game, Appalachian State ties Indiana and St. Joseph's for the most tournament games played in Bloomington with 2.

Yes.

I prefer 64 instead of 68, but that's my opinion, I know it's officially "in."

I am glad it was short-lived for calling the opening round (now First Four) "first round" and the traditional first round "second round." That bothered me.

Yesufu is a flat out stud, at least at the mid-major level.

I have the winner of UCLA or MSU beating BYU

 

[stormchaser2014]

Another comeback brewing.

He didn't even really come on until Penn went down late in the season.

Anyone who follows Drake more closely know if Hemphill isn't healthy still? He couldn't have played more than 10 minutes but looked pretty good when he was in.
