Alright ya filthy animals, I have something tomorrow.. if you have peaked around in other threads you know how high I am on the mighty bulldogs of Des Moines (love the state of iowa) what do I know about Bradley. They are pretty well coached and have a Flying Dutchman that’s their best player. I also know they are coming off two games where they nearly lost to northern iowa and then blew a second half lead and had to sink two free throws to save their season.. just like working muscle groups.. that time under tension brings a lot of fatigue and weariness.. we have a Drake team that absolutely blew out Murray and then absolutely blew out SIU (our poor Cialis-less Salukis) two very different teams .. Bradley plays thru their forwards and Drake plays thru their guards and they have honestly 5 good ones.. the main one 6’7 combo guard who is the best player in the conference Devries was made for this and ate bradley alive in the first game and arguably had his worst game of the year in Peoria.. Drake is the fresher team.. Drake is a team that can light you up from the outside (37%) is one of the top free throw teams in the nation at (78%) . Doesn’t turn the ball over (top 20 in nation) and will have the best player on the court.. Bradley counters with slightly better defensive metrics a really good big in Rienk Mast and a team that is 329th in the nation in free throw shooting .. this is a championship game it should be a good game .. give me the team that makes free throws and will look to wear down the tension ridden braves late in the game.
