Drake @ Creighton - Tues 1/22

[jaypharmalum]

Drake will bring a top 25 national ranking into Omaha for the first of two MVC battles. Less than 48 hours until tipoff.

Expect a crowd of 17000+ plus in Omaha and a raucous crowd - should be exciting.

Any Drake VT'ers coming into Omaha for the game?

I'll be there. I think.

[Bulldogfanny]

Hey after that rough game against Ill. St. we need as much rest as we can get. How about under 72 hours until tip off. Should be a great game. But I not too confident about this the way Creighton is playing. How about a big snow storm to postpone for a few weeks?

Snow is supposed to start tomorrow night, but it won't be enough. Only Wichita gets the big snows.

I am going, I talked with getreal and he is going. Drake is bringing over at least 3 packed busses for it, so there will be a little extra blue roaming around.

[jaypharmalum]

I'm already excited for this one. Hopefully, CU can hit the threes the way they did tonight and bring home a win. Either way, the turnaround game in Des Moines is the following week. I-80 should be busy.

Did you already get tix? From what I understand, the only ones left are nosebleeds, if any.

[Bulldogfanny]

I'm going to the Access Air website to see if I can get a flight back to see this game. If I recall they fly from Laguardia to rock Island to Des Moines and then Omaha.

A thread right after the game? C'mon, can't we Drake fans have at least a day to savor this win? :grin:

The game is Tuesday, and that makes it less than 72 hours until tipoff. Drake is tired and beaten up in the backcourt without Young to take minutes, so they need those extra 24 hours.

I think I saw that Creighton has never beaten a top 25 team in the Qwest Center. Is that right?

[Keita44]

Did you already get tix? From what I understand, the only ones left are nosebleeds, if any.

I have tickets, but I am afraid they might be nosebleeds. I'm riding one of the Drake buses to the game, and am using whatever ticket they provide for me.

It is a heck of a deal: Bus ride both ways, ticket, and some food and beverages for $30.

I remember Creighton beating UNI a couple of years ago at the Qwest when they were in the Top 25. Not sure how many other Top 25 teams have visited.

How much did Josh Young play tonight? More importantly, how much should we expect to see him on Tuesday (and at what strength)?

Young didn't play, and I'd expect more of the same until he actually steps on the court in a game.

I'm thinking the run stops in Omaha and the Jays win by 10.

[jayfan04]

I believe Xavier was ranked 24 or 25 when Creighton beat them last year

Go ahead and tell me now that this game isn't on tv.. (regionally speaking).. :banghead:

Because when TV schedules are generally set, this was a game of #4 against #9 in the preseason poll. Now, it would seem to me that they should be able to adjust on the fly but.........:no:

Sounds quite similar to your prediction for the Drake-Ill. State game.....

Is this another DawgieStool scenario? :lol:

He was in street clothes tonight, but he did jog around to pick up a missed shot every now and then without a limp.

If Josh plays: Drake 29 Creighton 112
If Josh doesn't play: Drake 12 Creighton 129

[DoubleJayAlum]

DUBulldog-

I know earlier in the season, you said you weren't planning on the roadie to Omaha. Any change in this thinking with Drake's current streak? I still owe you a cold one and if your coming to town, let me know and I'll pay up.

Might be the biggest weeknight crowd ever at the Q on Tuesday.

Should be a great game, 17,000+ again.

I hope that if any Drake fans were on the fence about coming to Omaha, they have made up their minds and are coming on down to the Qwest.

It's just too bad that Drake's ranking will go by-the-boards after Tuesday night:original:

McB...that may be the score in Des Moines but you guys ain't scoring in Omaha. Kenny Lawson will see to that...he's a veritable Marvin Webster (the Human Eraser for you youngin's.)

I think Jays win, I hope DU does. We want a shot at the powerhouse ranked Bull Dawg team in C-dale.

[Dawg_tired]

Jays, you can't have Karma. You have ripped a seem in the Universe earlier that cannot be mended. Karma is ours because of our consistent humility and meekness. Remember, the meek shall inherit the Valley.

[Ictjay]

Now this is a true Valley rivalry!! Can't congradulate Drake enough for the year they are having. Hope Drake keeps this level of success going for many years to come. Best thing to happen to the Valley.

[jaypharmalum]

I can think of a few other things happening in the MVC this year that some would consider fantastic. Drake winning is great, but comeuppance is entertaining as well.

Exactly. Getreal needs to get real. There is no way that Drake can beat tCU. They are like gods among us mortals.

I am making the trip in hopes of P'Allen's performance: :kicking:
Will he be performing?

Would it be ok if some of the Drake fans wore these?

Don't be picking on Dana Mulligan that way. And Bluejays, Karma may have been with you in the past. But Dana Mulligan ripped a hole that is yet to be fixed.

[jaypharmalum]

When do the polls come out?

[Mc Bulldog]

Creighton - 214
Drake - 41

[Mike]

While Creighton seems to be playing better than earlier in the year, I think they are too young and inconsistent to stay with a veteran Drake team. I look for a result similar to the Illinois State vs. CU game in Omaha and 17,000+ disappointed fans.

[Hunter]

Creighton continues hot shooting.

CU 71
Drake 64

Creighton is a young team, there is no question about that. However, to insinuate that they do not have any veteran leadership is inaccurate. Last time I checked, Watts/Bahe/Hibma/Dotzler are all seasoned veterans that are suiting up for Coach Altman's squad. If Drake wins, it will not be because of their experience as Mike suggested.

A 13 point win on the road and the home team never has a lead? Wow. The Drake fans certainly are not short on confidence are they? This is not the same Creighton team that played ISU 3 weeks ago. That's why I was glad to go there when we did.

[Keita44]

Creighton - 214
Drake - 41

Wait a second....there has to be a typo in your answer McBulldog


You had Drake scoring 41. There is no way we can score that many....

I actually agree with you. I think Drake's press is going to hurt the Jays and DU wins a close game by 4 or 5.

This was brought up in the Wichita Eagle a week ago. It's a big deal for teams to come into a hostile atmosphere of 10,000 + they're not used to and get a win.

As far as SIU goes, they have to learn to win a road game other than in Evansville first.

I'm feeling calm today and I expect to tomorrow . My meds are time released though and sometimes they run out too soon. Like around 8 p.m. One of three things can happen at that point. 1. I fall asleep. 2. I hear voices. 3. I imagine things and they happen. Like the Bulldogs raining threes. I think the latter will happen. But we still lose by 30.

Creighton Blue Jays - 254

[Angrybluejaydan]

The Bluejays have faced the Bluedogs more than any other team. You would think it would be a rivalry.

In my mind, it is.

One of my worst memories in following the Jays is being at a game in 92 against the Bulldogs with Rick Johnson manning the bench for the Jays and Rudy Washington coaching the Bulldogs. Mike Amos was the big Bluejay that year and we had a point guard named Jason Bey who could really turn it over..real good.

The Civic was famous for it's crappy lighting at the time. I sat in the nosebleeds, with pops and my cousin, who I had to drag to the game and struggled to see the players out on the floor.

There was a couch in one of the enzones where a lucky fan got to sit during each game and munch on Godfathers Pizza.

The Jays had a 7 point lead with 20 seconds left in the game.......and lost!!!!

Dana came to town, the Civic was fixed up and the rest was history. Rudy even beat Dana a few times initially before he left the Bulldogs.

Now the Bluedogs are ranked in the top 25 and 17,000 plus will show up in the well lighted Q, with no couches.

[MoValley John]

I was driving home from the bar last night after the game and a thought struck me and i wanted your take on this. Are CU and Drake fans disapointed that their teams seem to have plateaued somewhat over the last 3-4 years? No offense meant here as you two programs are really the two teams that showed all of the rest of us the way. But looking at results over the last several years makes me wonder how i would feel if i was a CU or Drake fan. Would i be happy just making the tournament year after year in drake's case with mixed success? Would i be happy if i was a CU fan and made the tournament some of the time and almost never left the first round?

I realize that WSU is new to the game as far as winning and running with the conference banner, but do the things Drake is doing right now make you wish that CU or Drake had advanced farther a few years back when they were clearly the "class of the valley?".

To put what i am saying in statistics rather than words here you go.

CU Postseason under Altman
NCAA tournament farthest advanced: 2nd round
NCAA tournament appearances: 6 in 13 years
NCAA tournament record: 2-6
NIT appearances: 3
NIT record: 1-3
Total Postseason record 3-9

Drake postseason in the kanaski/Davis/Davis Era
NCAA tournament farthest advanced: None
NCAA tournament appearances: 0
NCAA tournament record N/A

Again im not trying to flame anyone here i am just curious if CUfan or Drake fan is satisfied with where their programs are at in relation to where they expected them to go/be 4-5 years ago when they were dominating the valley year in and year out. Also if the stagnant trend continued over the next 5-10 years (Making the NCAA tourney half the time and losing 1st round most of the time) would you continue to want Altman and Davis as your coach? I think i would be frustrated because you have had some excellent teams that have not advanced in the tournament as far as they maybe could have especially in CU's case.

One final disclaimer i am not trying to start any trouble on here i am honestly curious as to the average fan of these two teams feelings on the state of their programs right now as opposed to 4-5 years ago. You guys have been the class of the valley for a long time and continue to be right at the top.

MoValJohn .. I've acquired a taste for your BS but that was really a f'd up post. Ya DA prack.

Drake has a ton of respect for Creighton. Altman is a beyond what CU, or any Valley program could ever want in terms of a class act. He has made a mark on the MVC ... beyond any other coach, past or future. So I"m not interested in any smack with any Jay fans. They have a basketball team that has obviously "found" itself in the last couple weeks or so. I truely believe that for Drake to have any chance in this game, the Dogs will have to play their best game of the year and have a lucky bounce or two. They are Gods ... They are Creighton!

I was just lurking on BlueJayCafe and I couldn't help but hear the universe ripping with all of the posts of Drake's demise at the Qwest Center. You know I had really good tickets, but I've decided not to go now because I'm so discouraged. All of those Blowjays are right. We have no chance. We're going to be ranked for a day and a half and won't be able to stand it. We'll come in all tight and shat and won't be able to shoot. Heck, we might as well call the game now. I had predicted CU by 40. Now it's 80. It's spank the Dawgs week in Gomerha.

I think his post was just a little tongue in cheek reprise from one of the Shocker faithful during the early part of last season in which almost the exact same argument was put forth: backhanded compliments but the jist (not jizz) being that WSU had a more successful program based on one post season as compared to CU consistently making the tournament. I may be wrong but that is how I read it.

I was just bored and stirred the pot. Its funny in a not so funny way.

[DawgieStyle]

Dawgie Stool, give us your prediction. Don't you agree that CU will win in a walk?

Don't know...tough game to call....CU is young and more talented, but prone to mistakes, and Drake is on a roll with an experienced team, and if I'm correct, the game is at Creighton?

[MoValley John]

Dawgie Stool, give us your prediction. Don't you agree that CU will win in a walk?

I don't want to get carried away, but I would be disappointed if the Jays lose tomorrow night. Not to diminish by any stretch what Drake has done, but they have a brutal next couple of weeks and most certainly won't win them all. That being said, I predict a CU victory in the 6-8 point range.

I think you'll still find WSU fans on here, probably not a lot on Drake-Creighton pregame threads though.

[MoValley John]

I consider the pot adequately stirred.

[shockball]

Having seen both teams I have to go with CU by 9. Drake is a better team with Young. When he does get back into the mix there will be some disruption. Dana has more eyes in Omaha to focus on Stinnett so he'll be more under control.

[bleach]

This is Drakes first "real" road test. If they win I will be VERY impressed. So far they have done BIG things for Drake.....A true conf. leader would win this game....I pick CU 80-69. I'm impressed with what DU has done but am yet to be convinced they are the cream of the crop. JY would help though.

Almost as predictable as the Jays dominance over the Toxic Shox.

I digress from the original topic of the thread - my apologies.

Should be a good one tonight - it will be interesting to see how many Drake fans are there and if they can make some noise. I hope they have a good number of fans, that should fire up the Creighton crowd even more.

This isn't on TV anywhere?

Certainly CU owns their very own satellite up in orbit? Even if they just rented one for the broadcast...we know they're familiar with rent-to-rent plans.

Maybe Warren Buffet can put one on his credit card this afternoon and get the game on for us.

[Drakey]

This should be a very tough game for the Dogs. hopefully they can hang close and have a chance to win at the end. Hopefully Nowakowski, or whatever his name is, won't be officiating. Is he still around?

It sounds like Altman has bought into some of the rotation philosophies that Dr Tom used to drive Drake fans crazy. When in doubt, sub 'em out.

We have to have one of these pictures.

[jayfan04]

Nice game tonight for Drake, but to quote Dennis Green or at least I think he said this "THey are who we thought they were, and we let 'em off the hook."

I am impressed with the way Drake managed to have the answer every time Creighton would get control. We will get you in Des Moines we would rather beat a top 20 team on the road rather then a top 25 team at home.

I was also impressed with the amount of people that traveled to Omaha on a Tuesday night even though a few in my section could not believe how high up in the Qwest they had to sit.

Anyway congratulations Drake on the win and here's to hoping for a similar game next week with a different ending.

[Nyghtewynd]

IMO, Creighton must win at Drake to receive at-large consideration. That's two losses at home, their best win is against a St. Joe's team that no one really considers to be high-class, and they may finish third or fourth in-conference. They may have one more regular season loss at most, and it can't be to Drake. IlSU and DU are the first two possibilities, and the Valley isn't getting three.

[jayfan04]

I think if the Jays run the table at home and lose maybe 1 or 2 on the road and get a good BB game on the road and win that they still have a chance for at large possibilities. They would still be somewhere like 22-6, 22-7. These next two at Southern and at Drake will be the biggest games of the year for the Jays.

[MoValley John]

Keno can flat-out coach.

[MoValley John]

On another note, I met up w/ DU, McBull and a few other Drake fans at Embassy Suites before the game. Those A-holes can drink! Beer cans everywhere! McBull was doing Rumpleminz body shots off DU's buttcrack, all the while, these two hookers were entertaining each other. I don't know why DU chose arseless chaps and a blue wifebeater to wear to a game. Disturbing, but not as disturbing as McBull wearing nothing but a jock.

Anyway, it was a good time, thanks guys.
