DocCas86 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 UB and Drake kick off the slate of men's games tomorrow at 1 p.m eastern (2 p.m. local time). Drake is currently ranked between #57 (Torvik) and #77 (Massey). Current perception is Drake is slightly better than Toledo, who are the highest ranked MAC team. Drake is 2-0 with home wins against IUPUI (by 32) and Wofford (by 8). Drake is lead by Tucker Devries a 6'7" SO guard. I would like to see outcome of keeping it 5 points or under in this game - but mainly looking for improvement in rebounding and reduced turnovers.

Tee4three Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Drake is the favorite to win the Missouri valley this season, this will be a tough game Personally feel they are much better than Toledo based on viewings of each but I will always be a bit biased against Toledo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comparison was based solely on review of several ranking sites. They have Drake ranked 57 and 77 as I mentioned. Toledo is 58 to 72 on those same sites. Of course these rankings are estimates, not absolutes, and Drake may be better than anyone we see in the MAC, but perhaps a good benchmark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I’m just glad this game will actually be streamed, unlike some of the past tournaments. Also glad there’s something to watch while being stuck inside from this snow haha. Hoping for a competitive game at least. Go Bulls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBlearns Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Can't help but feel like Drake is going to blow this game open at some point, but I like what I see from UB's young players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBlearns Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Hardnett with a baffling possession, frantically-bad offensive turnover when UB could've held it for essentially the last shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee4three Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Foster has really found his game since James Madison where it seemed like the game just was moving too fast for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clodney Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Only caught the last few minutes but I'm impressed with the ball movement. Where was that the last couple of games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue32 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I continue to be astounded by Isaac Jack, he already seems like the best post scorer since Perkins. Left, right, beautiful footwork, doesn’t panic when he gets the ball on a roll. Super polished for a freshman. I’ll admit I’ve been frustrated about the start of this season but we already have a win over the best team in the Patriot League, if we can close out a win over the best MVC team that at least convinces me Colgate wasn’t a fluke. The talent seems to be there but consistency is key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Great first half so far. Team seemed more under control, dare I say slowing down the tempo has helped offensive execution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBlearns Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Jack has some silky smooth moves down low for a true freshman big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw your post and checked a little before 1pm, but ESPN had it at 2pm and just figured the tournament moved the game time for whatever reason. Then when checking scores of other games I see this game started ha I never realized they were in a different time zone before though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m forgetting someone but for all the (valid) Whitesell complaints creating an environment where our top players leave hasn’t really been an issue. Mballa made sense using a 5th year COVID eligibility to move from a rebuild to P5. Skogman was a little more confusing but this really hasn’t been much of an issue for us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
