That was, of course, until they lost against Western Kentucky. Not only did they lose, but they lost BY TWO at the overtime buzzer. Western Kentucky sunk a 30-foot 3-pointer to steal the win. How much does that suck?
But, it's alright. The Boys in Blue had a miraculous season anyway. I'm not going to pretend like I'm a huge basketball fan since I'm nothing of the sort. When I go to games I cheer when the kids wearing blue cheer and boo when the kids wearing blue boo. That's not always the best method, though... I'm reminded of the Creighton game last year.
Anyway, incase you're curious, Drake won 21 consecutive games and ended the regular season with a 28-4 record. They also won the Missouri Valley Conference Championship for the first time in 37 years!
The new coach, Keno Davis, was named the MVC coach of the year and Adam Emmenecker and Josh Young were named to the All-District VI team.
So, despite the heart-wrenching loss to Western Kentucky, Drake is still mighty proud of their Boys in Blue... and their Women in Blue, who lost to Illinois state in the MVC tournament last week, but we'll root them on in the Women's National Invitational Tournament which takes place today.
