Would probably rather face WSU for many reasons. First get the better home court advantage. Second, they seem pretty sloppy with the ball.

But mostly in the chance Drake wins and beats ISU the media in the state are going to unbearable.

 

[NYCYFan]

Wazzu is really bad

They overachieved based on their talent level. Drake would be the far more dangerous opponent for the Cyclones.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Come on Cougs!

 

[dahliaclone]

this is gonna come down to the wire still i think

 

[Alswelk]

Would not be sad about overtime

 

[Billups06]

Wazzu offense looking like ours to end the regular season. One-pass shots and lots of iso forced shots.

Drake guards are aggressive on D and move well on offense.

 

[jctisu]

Clearly off Drake

 

[HFCS]

Jeez WSU played like a steaming turd for 8 minutes and they're down a point. Got a break on a blown out of bounds call.

 

[NYCYFan]

These teams that won their conference tournaments that had no shot to get in otherwise are really showing out. Duquesne, Oregon, NC State. Even more reason why it was dumb that some teams got rewarded for what they did 3-4 months ago and not what they've done lately.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Either way, gotta keep the big men out of the lane

 

[HFCS]

wow grown man move by Jones for WSU to draw the 4th foul

 

[Clonedogg]

Tech looking bad, Pop not making nothing, if he's hot they are dangerous.

I get counting every game equally, I get "last 10" even though they don't do that anymore...I don't get "the most important games are four months ago when your roster might not have even been the same".

 

[twincyties]

Terrible call against WSU

 

[jctisu]

Either way I will be upset if we lose to either of these teams. Now, every game is different, but just going off of this game it would be a really big missed opportunity if we lost to either.

Terrible call against WSU

I mean he really wasn't setting a screen, the small guy just kind of ran into him and fell down.

Don't actually believe they used that as a reason, its only their excuse. They had to find something to explain their actions, in an attempt to hide their real reasons.

 

[FerShizzle]

Terrible call against WSU

Twice that guard for Drake has done that. Hason and Rob better be careful setting screens on Saturday if Drake wins.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Tech looking like ****. I had them in the sweet 16

Well if one conference they don't favor is wildly stronger than any other...that's a way to discount that conference. Make non conf more important. I can't get over that we had the 16th best SOS of 362 teams and it was a NEGATIVE.
