This Wazzu coach seems like he could be Mike Leaches little brother

DeVries can be a bit of a mismatch. Too big for smaller defender and too crafty for a bigger defender. WSU is 20-0 when leading at half, so Drake will have their hands full.

There is nothing about Wazzu that concerns me. They won’t be able to run with ISU.

Remember the NCAA game when Iowa lost to Northwestern State. The game was played in Detroit using the Oakland University basketball court. That's the only thing I could remember about Oakland until tonight.

Holy cow these announcers talk about Devries as much as wbb announcers talk about CC in a Iowa wbb game. Every freaking possession

Can't remember what radio show said if we play drake, tucker will be the best player on the floor. I'm sorry, but I haven't heard much about him. Maybe I'm a bad Iowan?

He’s just another 12 ppg/6 rpg guy in the Big 12.

Wazzou coach kind of looks like Leach.

I thought Bruce Weber

I loved his "the headband guy is giving us fits" comment.

I want WSU. I can’t imagine the pressure on our team if we play Drake.

That would be a exaggeration. IMO.

I'm not sure about college, but in high school that is pretty much the highest praise one could possibly hope for.

 

[jctisu]

Crazy part is I didn’t think our defense was at its best. So hope we see that ratchet up next round.

Will most of our guys even know? Outside of Tamin we don't have Iowa guys. I am more worried about the nearby small school motivation

Yeah lots of lapses on defense tonight. Which is good. Gives Otz some ammo

 

[Pope]

NCState had to win 5 games in 5 days to win their conference tournament, you'd think they'd be out of gas. Taco Tech trailing them by 4 at half. They better get going 2nd half or they'll be joining BYU.

They still know the local media and how much attention it would get.

That said they seem to love to shut people up too.

Drake doesn’t have any Iowa guys on their roster either, other than Tucker.

Fans and media are likely over hyping the motivation factor

I live like 20 miles from Oakland University. When my wife and I were looking at housing when we were preparing to move to the Detroit Metro back in 2011 apartments across the street from Oakland University were the first ones we looked at.
