ILLINOIS, 7269. DRAKE. AND THERE IT IS. DRAKE. MOMENTS AGO WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SEE THEIR NAME POP UP ON THE SCREEN. WITH THE LAST TEAMS ANNOUNCED THEY KNEW THEY WERE IN. BUT MAN, IT FEELS GREAT TO FINALLY SEE IT UP THERE. THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR THE BULLDOGS ARE GOING DANCING. THE FANS PILED INTO THE KNAPP CENTER FOR A FREE WATCH PARTY AS THEY SOAKED IN THE SUCCESS OF THE SEASON. DRAKE, 30 AND THREE THIS YEAR, BUT THE DRAW COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. THEY ARE AN 11 SEED, NOT A TEN. MISSOURI, MEANWHILE, HAVING A GREAT YEAR OUT OF THE SEC, THEY ARE A 60. THIS IS GOING TO BE TOUGH. IT’S GOING TO BE IN WICHITA. SO REALLY NICE DRIVE FOR THE DRAKE FANS. BUT OBVIOUSLY MISSOURI IS GOING TO HAVE A TON OF HOME FANS AS WELL. THIS IS IN THE WEST REGION IN SAN FRANCISCO. IF DRAKE CAN GET PAST THIS, THEY GET THE WINNER OF TEXAS TECH AND UC WILMINGTON. WE CAUGHT UP WITH COACH BEN MCCOLLUM MOMENTS AGO. I JUST WANT TO GET A MATCHUP. I THINK THAT’S THE BIGGEST THING. EVERYBODY THIS TIME OF YEAR IS REALLY GOOD. AND SO, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST YOU WANT A TEAM THAT YOU CAN AT LEAST KIND OF MATCH UP WITH, KIND OF COMPETE WITH, KIND OF FIGHT WITH. AND YOU KNOW, YOU WANT A BRACKET THAT’S, THAT’S, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN MAKE A LITTLE RUN IN. SO YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY IT WORKS OUT FOR US. BUT WE’LL BE READY TO COMPETE. YEAH. LAST YEAR DRAKE WAS A TEN SEED. THEY LOST TO WASHINGTON STATE IN ROUND ONE BY A SCORE OF 6661. AND ON. YOU LOOK AT THEIR TOURNAMENT HISTORY. THEY HAVEN’T MADE A FINAL FOUR SINCE 1969. WOULDN’T THAT BE SOMETHING IF BEN MCCOLLUM IN YEAR ONE COULD BUST SOME BRACKETS EVERY YEAR A TEAM DOES, AND LAST TIME THEY MADE A SWEET 16 OR ELIT
