FINAL RECORD
28-5, 15-3 MVC (first).

WHAT WENT RIGHT
Everything. The Bulldogs won big and looked great doing it. Their up-tempo style thrilled fans and their enthusiasm and unselfish style impressed opponents. Coach Keno Davis masterfully pulled it all together for a season Iowans will never forget.

WHAT WENT WRONG
Drake's defense didn't hold up in the NCAA Tournament. Had the Bulldogs been able to stop Western Kentucky, they would still be playing.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We never quit and it's sad to lose to a buzzer-beater. It's the worst feeling in the world." -- Drake guard Leonard Houston.

He left for a better job, for a better team, in a better conferance to a better city in a better geographical area of the U.S., for more money.  Dude is out of the midwest and a 15 minute flight from Boston, no brainer!  Unless your from the midwest, you would never hear of the MVC nor attend Drake.  Its a school for the kids that didn't get into better public schools and ...(more)

I'm a huge Badger fan, but you're the best story in college basketball this year.

The problem is that you haven't beaten anyone good, but pretty much smoked everyone else... A lot of wins, lots of momentum, but legit? I'm not so sure.

Tell me why I should jump on the bandwagon!!!

Tommorow at 11:00 Drake will hold a press conference and announce that Mark Phelps is the new Drake head coach. He was an assistant at Arizona State and has a strong reputation for good recruiting skills. I understand why Keno Davis left but am dissapointed to see him go. I hope Mark Phelps can build on the success of last year and keep the winning seasons coming.

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up a sim league starting next season, where a simulator plays out the game and gives you realistic scores and stuff, and your Bulldogs are still available! If you are interested or have any questions feel free to e-mail me at dosegorillaz@aim.com. ...(more)

Keno Davis has left Drake for a bigger paycheck but he will never coach a better school than Drake! Ok, maybe he will. I'm just sad to see Coach Davis go. He had such a great year and was on his way to building a powerhouse in the MVC. Now will Drake return to a subpar team for another 37 years? I hope not!

(POLL) Will Drake's Korver be a better NBA player than Kyle Korver of Utah assuming he gets to the NBA?

Now does everybody understand why Drake was overrated. This is what happens when you have such an easy regular season schedule.

.... I don't know about the rest of you, but for me it still hurts.  That game was an instant classic, but  losing in that fashion is incredibly tough to take.  Still, it was a great season, and I'm really proud of the way those guys represented our University all year long.  It was a special run, and even though it came to an end before any of us wanted to, it's ti ...(more)

 So many what ifs! The perfect season ended in the worst possible way! I'll never get over that game!
