    Drake — In or out

    I think they’ll get in, but will be playing Thursday in the play in games. Not much in the way of big wins but 16-4 in the Missouri valley conference should be enough. Loyola is definitely much better than them though.

    In but not by much. Loyola very good for sure.

    Yeah, it depends on where the playin teams are seeded, I would think they would be one of the last 4 at large.

    Didn't their best two players get hurt? They cannot beat other bubble teams like Duke now so I have to say no.

    Well there is an extra spot this year with IVY league opting out. Can’t imagine they’ll win more than one game though.

    You can always find an outlier in anything once in a while but it doesn’t support having a lot of teams their automatic losses

    Right now Drake would not beat Duke, Syracuse,Memphis, any of those supposed bubble teams that are out.

    With their best player coming back, I say they are in. The selection committee takes some of that into account.

    I can agree that ten days until the tournament could make a big difference for someone that has an injury. A lot can happen for these teams in the next week. They could be in and out 5 times?

    Something that could be working against them is the out of conference strength of schedule was really bad. How much will that matter this season? Probably not nearly what it usually would

    Id rather see Drake in then say a 7-9 Big East or ACC team, which will be the case if Drake gets left out.

    How do you figure Duke is a bubble team? They are 500 in the ACC and the ACC is way down this year compared to other years. The only way Duke gets in is winning the ACC tournament.

    Whatever team gets in instead would have no chance either.

    Sounds good to me, even though I can’t stand this guy. They will probably be the team talked about most Sunday.
