Looks like a decent crowd in Beasley.

 

[Rich Lewis]

7 seed east vs drake.

 

[SaveFerris]

Iowa State the 2-seed.

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

Getting to the sweet 16 would be incredible.

 

[95coug]

Don’t know much about Drake. Hate being a 7 though. For one thing, we backed ourselves into a lower seed with some bad showings the last couple weeks. For another, 7 seeds lose about 4 out of 10 matchups. Pretty common upset.

 

[Rich Lewis]

Colorado made it through play-in. Pac will have 4 teams in.

 

[SaveFerris]

Drake can shoot and have a "Battie-like" guy in Darnell Brodie who is listed at 6'10" 275 pounds. Tucker DeVries won POY in their conference.

Former Coug Carlos Rosario gets some minutes for them.

 

[79COUG]

Their message board seems to think we're a good matchup for them. One guy went so far as to opine that they're just as talented as us.

 

[Coug1990]

Quick look shows that both Drake and ISU are undefeated at home this year and very mediocre away from home.

7/10 pretty much even matchups. Probably going to be a dog fight. I think we are capable of being a 3/4 but we played like a CBI team the last two weeks. Not surprised we were punished for limping to the finish line. Hopefully they can reset and get their underdog mindset back. Can’t complain about getting to watch the Cougs in the tourney either way!

Is Omaha close enough to Des Moines and Ames?

[Coug90]

First “upset” pick on CBS…Dayton. Good. CVE.

Glad Cougar

Its a lot closer than Seattle and Spokane...

We’re not getting by Iowa State - probably the hottest team in the country right now.

Pretty easy pick, tbh. Cougs are slumping pretty hard and at this point don't look to be getting their old form back.

Hence the word "incredible."

The first thought I had was "we drew a tough bracket", but honestly they're all tough when you're playing how the Cougs are right now.

 

[Loyal Coug1]

Bracketology was pretty close. Hit the Pac-12 right on except for our seed. Damn - either the mutt game or the Colorado game would have likely given us a 5. Colorado should sort of be pissed. 3rd in league, 2nd n the tournament and they get a play in game?

Our future league mates the Mtn West did get 6 teams in, albeit 2 play-ins. Go CSU against Virginia (bracketology did have Virginia out).

Andy Katz picked Drake to upset WSU. There you go. Get that chip on your shoulder

 

[Rich Lewis]

So did Seth Davis. Arizona has a real good path.

Dayton or Drake?

EXACTLY. If the Cougs have proved anything in the last two weeks, they are more comfortable with being the underdog... this is GREAT bulletin board stuff!

Drake, my bad.
