Anyone watch this Drake team?

Impressive win over Miami.  Miami had a squad this year and they put them in a headlock early today and never let go.  Looks like they went the super small school route in replacing their coach.  Bringing in McCollum from Northwest Missouri St.  And he brought his best players with him who all look like sound, fundamental basketball players.  This team a mirage, or they a force again?  Light dog against FAU who lost basically their whole team.  It¡¯s so hard knowing who¡¯s who early in college now.  

FAU got an unbelievable amount of help from the refs to beat OKST. Drake or nothing. 

Can Drake keep scoring at that clip?

Are these kids gonna have the legs today!?

Legs..

Yeah..

It's college..

Drakes coaching is better. 

Drake for me

Bol guys

Drake beat Miami in every facet of the game. Ball movement, defense, offensive rebounding, 50/50 balls and limiting turnovers. 

I watched the entire game. Drake or no play. 

Initial movement (early)was on FAU and respected money on FAU.

i know I liked drake as well but strong indication on fau. I guess they think fau will play better because drake isn¡¯t as physical as ok state.  

idk, line goes 3.5 and jumps 4.5 in first 45 minutes. Slides back to 3.5 and spin cycles 2.5-3.5 since.

that initial move is usually the right move.

 Like this thought 

Evans and Walker had bad shooting games yesterday and they still won comfortably. Obviously due to massive FTs

@CaseyMcGehee

Refs were horrible for both teams, not just Okie St.

Three players, I'm guessing their best, played the entire game.

Two played 20-25.....then three others picked up what was left. 

Their FIRST victory against an ACC team in 7 years.

Drake is actually VERY strong defensively. That could easily carry. The UNDER may be the move.

fau has 3 of 5 guys in lineup who were all conference from the schools they transferred from. being all conference says something even if smaller conference and no doubt better competition than the division ii players that make up drake now. that's not to slight drake as the players have played together for a while from nwm st. but at some point athleticism starts to take over given that fau  at least plays fundamental basketball. drake was 4-19 from 3 yesterday 21% and 32% on the year they need to hit at a higher clip they also sent miami to the ft line quite a bit and fau gets to the ft line at a much higher clip than miami on the young season like 44% fta/fga that's a big number

with all that said I played drake 1st half. we will see. I watched a little of fau and I just hate teams that do too much ball watching and getting caught double teaming and leaving guys open that is a recipe for disaster when playing a team like drake who thrives on teams that over help and can't get back to the guys theyre supposed to be guarding.

I'm on LIVE Unders after that early scoring frenzy

146-

147-

Hope they hit

Let's go drake!!

its clear fau is the better team and the short live lines seem like gifts drake has almost half of their pts from 3's so far as they havent shown that is their strength early. they are outsized, lack fau's quickness and athleticism also.

the high-low big play of fau was killing drake early and for some strange reason fau went away from it. coach must feel he has that in his back pocket and wants to see other facets of his team be able to win the game for now. surely he will go back to it as drake has no answer for the size fau is able to provide

hopefully drake can somehow extend this first half lead and I will be placed 1/4 of first half drake winnings on fau 2nd half.

@rosswin97

 as soon as I posted this the announcer said the same thing that the 2 big high-low was killing drake and fau went away from it. and as expected fau has now gone back to the 2 big high-low and scored easily
