Well does Bradley have a way in after Drake walloped them? Announcer says no, NIT bound for regular season champ. I think I'd let them in.

Nope.

It's been a down season for the MVC this year. Only a one bid league this season.

Got to say, Drake looked pretty damn impressive. I did not expect a 30-point blowout in this game.
Drake beat 'em hard like that @ Knapp Center too. The game @ Bradley was an outlier. They are going to be a tough, tough out in the NCAA. They are talented, deep and well coached.

Looking at Bart Torvik and team's tourney results

Iowa 8 appearances, 5-8 record, never made S16

Harry looked silly sometimes but actually knew his baseball when the ball was in play and would call it like he saw it. Which rarely happens anymore.
No, he wasn’t. He favored few players and was very harsh on players that he didn’t like. He was also drunk sometimes.

Testifying
I think that was saying that a 4 or 5 seed would be annoyed by the pairing (meaning drake would be a 12\13 seed)
Yep, I just shot from the hip on their seeding. I haven't looked to see where they're penciled, just know they'd be a dangerous 12ish team.

During the Bradley game they showed the age of Drake's roster. I think they have 2-3 guys that are 25 and another 2-3 that are 23-24. It said their starting lineup is older than a few NBA teams.
