DRAKE RAKES

Are you watching Western Kentucky-Drake? It was 86-78, Hilltoppers, just a few minutes ago but now it's a one-point game. And I believe I just heard Mike Gminski, the CBS color man (and former Duke center) say, "Gotta love the Drake!" (yes, a Seinfeld reference in March Madness).

Jonathan Cox of Drake has 17 points in the last ten minutes, as Drake now has tied it 88-88. Drake All-Everything Adam Emmenecker is 0-7 from the field, but he still has a double-double thanks to 12 assists and shooting 1-12 from the line.

Cox hit a loooooooooong range trey with 24.6 secs to go to finally tie the score. Drake, like Davidson, trailed almost the entire second half.

And now we're going to overtime.

How far superior is Friday afternoon to Thursday afternoon? And we're only halfway through the opening session
