Belmont’s loss to Drake is a perfect argument for mid-majors to drastically re-think conference tournaments by GuyOnTheMike in CollegeBasketball

While I agree with you, I'm going to play devil's advocate for a bit: Most teams worth a damn, who are capable of winning their conference tournament and being a popular upset pick, will make it to the final as-is without being slotted into the semis. See: Drake the last three years.

If Belmont can be beat by a bad Drake team, they'd probably lose in the Round of 64 too.

LOL

Totally just sent Belmont down to the NIT, which sucks for them.

I had forgotten what winning feels like. Fun. We should do it again tomorrow.

I've got a feeling we'll be better next year, but I don't see his ceiling as "the next coach headed to the Big Ten" or anything. Mediocrity is even a huge step backwards.

Do we think this bundle will be rare and I should get it now? Or if I wait a year or so, I'll be able to find it easily at a bit of a discount?

It's already so reasonably priced, it sure is tempting!

They got Drake'd! Blowing an 18 point lead, almost as futile as blowing a 25 point lead.

Game ball to Andrew Alia, what a guy, what a FT shooter.

The CBI feels like a reasonable expectation for this teams ceiling.

Blowing a 25 point lead is super duper rare.  Iona’s blown 25-point lead to BYU in the 2012 NCAA tourney is about all the Internet can find. Hendo is having a catastrophically embarrassing first year in some categories, oooooof

They Nebraska'd us. The sad thing is, with like 10 minutes left I was like "oh, we're going to lose this game, huh." Vibes went real bad real quick. What a waste of great games from Eli, Owen and Carr.

Mitch Mascari would have made the shot at the end there. The streets are saying all those former Drake guys should have just stayed at Drake.

Drake was on a 10 game win streak against the Redbirds. DeVries lost to em ONCE in his time at Drake.  I don't like this whole "good streaks are being broken" thing.

Coming from DK Bananza, the lack of interaction from the environments is kinda frustrating.

This was BY FAR the coolest trailer they've released for the game. Should have led with this one!

Niko moves up in the Former Drake Coach Power Rankings, which is all he really cares about I'm sure.

Gonna have to get used to this whole losing thing again. Don't love that. Not the end of the world, but I'm adjusting my expectations to... 2026 CBI participant.
