Tech fan here — great win for you guys, especially against the big school just down the road that won’t give you a sniff in non-conference play. Looks good on them.
I think we gave you a better game than the Illini, even without our best player. Hope you go to the Final Four — I love Krutwig’s “old man” game!
Good point. And Drake, playing without it's two best players, still came closer to Loyola in MVC tourney than Illinois did in NCAAs. Not relevant to anything, but just wanted to take another dig at the school that's too big to schedule any of the MVC teams in the state.
And, just wanted to add....this game did not feel like an upset, it felt like the better team controlled the game from start to finish.
