We just need to make sure that JO has time to set and shoot.  His shot timing is so slow.  You can tell that he was just able to shoot over everyone at his HS level, and didn't really have to worry about getting off quick shots.  He will learn to do so in the coming years, just as Rowdy and AP dramatically increased their release timing.

Goodnews! Goodnews is in the house!

I like it when Goodnews is guarded by Yesyoufool.  ;)

Valpo is up 10. How long will it take Drake to tie up the game. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 20 minutes?

It is a metaphorical "in the house."

I heard the Brewers picked up the Wong player recently.   ;)

Over/Under 5 minutes for JO in the second half?

You know it's a different kind of team when you cheer more for the made FTs instead of regular made FGs.

Great first half!  Very scrappy play for both teams. Love our toughness.

7 minutes so far. Can this Valpo team pull off a top 25 win? The anticipation is a killer.

I'm of the opinion that this team is a lot better when we don't jack up 25+ threes per game. Only seven so far in 1H. Can we keep it up? Let's hope so.

Much as I want us to win, man, Drake does NOT look like a T25 team so far today.

Regardless of the ranking, the name Drake, on a basketball jersey, is not intimidating to opponents.  Often times, it seems that we struggle historically against anyone that is a named program.

12 minutes and growing.

Dumb decision by Sackey.  Use time and get a good shot.  The defender does not magically disappear, when you blow by them...

Daniel Sackey single handedly switching the momentum from Valpo to drake for the second straight day with his uncontrolled play when we have them on the ropes.

Zion hit a FT! Holy Cow!

Momentum switch!

Gordon has improved is FTs this season, as well.  I've always been a big fan of Morgan's defensive ability, and his calm presence when controlling the ball on offense.  If we get points from Morgan's play, it is always an unexpected bonus.

Does anyone else really dislike the under the basket FT angle that we do on second attempts?

Edwards has a lot of maturing to do.  I get that he is a FR, but skip the tomahawk jam, and don't take quick 3's late in the game up big.

On one hand Yay Valpo! On the other if this score holds this might kill the hopes for a two bid Valley which is not ideal. I guess it serves Drake right for gorging on creampuffs in the non conference but still... I really want to see the MVC be a two bid league again... I guess if somebody had to kill that dream I'm glad it was us but still... Feels a little bittersweet in a way...

Gotta love beating a ranked opponent! Great win!!
I believe that we will win.

"Why didn't JO get a touch in the second half?"..."Why didn't Krikke take a single shot in the last 8 minutes of the game?"
Well, look at that: JO gets twice as much time in the second half today, including a 3-pointer, and Krikke gets shots down the stretch. What a difference a day makes. Great win, but it should have been a two-game sweep.
