Some thoughts and questions heading into the Valley.. How good are Drake and Indiana St......Drake certainly has more good wins and losses and have a more experienced lineup than Indiana St....who played a lot of guys with 11 players averaging 8 minutes or more...although that decresed to 9 in their last game against TCU........Indiana St. has a nice blend of vets,,Barnes , transfers Chris Williams from Iowa and some young guys.. What is the story with Drake???? They have 3 decent wins over Boise St (remember them?) , North Dakota St. and New Mexico St......who was the senior they had last year that drove me crazy?? Was it Timmerman? Any way right off the bat looks like we have two challenges. Illinois St. has two guys,,,one we had, Matt Chastain and one we wanted, Issac Gassman,,,,,,who are both getting some minutes but not a ton at the back of their rotation......Lots of new players and coaches this year....Should be fun, interesting and nail biting.
