Fred did not have a great presser, blamed shooting mainly, but Iowa had a ton of easy shots/layupps and Nebraska had basically none in the 2nd half.
Against our 6th rated defense
Bring it
Doesn’t change the fact you want to play the worst team possible. We should be rooting for every underdog in these conference tournaments
Don't get me wrong, I want a stress-free first game too.
But also don't want to start being afraid of teams if we're serious about making a deep run.
Not afraid of them but again, it’d be great to avoid a top 25 offense in round 1.
North Alabama is another team we could see that has considerably worse metrics than Lipscomb. Go NAU
Understand the metrics. And I highly doubt Otz and the team is afraid of anyone, and doubt they will take anyone lightly.
But I've watched enough NCAA tournaments to know it's very much a "be careful what you wish for" event. Just trying to fret as little as possible.
This is based on watching exactly 1.5 halves of Drake basketball.
Has anyone gone from Drake to Iowa State?
I can think of Iowa to Iowa State (Alex Thompson)
And UNI to Iowa State (Nate Heise)
Can't think of a Bulldog who became a Cyclone.
This really is a bad basketball game.
Soak it in hawk fans. This is Ben McCollum basketball. Games in the 50s. Boring AF.

I don't know what happened there. Evidently both teams shot tech free throws? Looked like the violation was all on Drake to me.
