Drake Preview and Game Thread -- 2/25/2020

I’m all in on the forfeit idea.

Missing 0 free throws against Bradley would probably give our team a lot of confidence.

Reminds me of a story....had a friend coaching the Lutheran team up near Sheboygan was playing the local Catholic powerhouse,,,his team was way over matched,,,,the Catholic team prided themselves on scoring a 100 a game... game got to 98-37, two minutes left in the game...Catholic team still pressing....My buddy called time out....and took his team off the court....final score....2-0

Great story Nate.
I actually did some superficial research on the NCAA rules for forfeits. Don't quote me on this, but I think in your case, under NCAA rules, the forfeit score would be the score at the time the losing team quit, and not 2 zip.
If I'm wrong, and the score would revert to 2-0, then if the Ramblers are losing late in the Bradley game by 10+, Porter should seriously consider pulling a Lutheran.

Forfeit! A stroke of genius by swellafelon. I guess I was wrong about him. But, as they say, there's a thin line between genius and insanity.

Bradley dropped to 109 overnight, for no apparent reason.

Anybody have an explanation for why Jake Baughman wasn't honored on Senior night?

Jake redshirted his sophomore year. He will be back next year.

Jake was a walk on. He was a senior and was honored with the other seniors last year as he was not sure if he was going to stay for another year.

LGB, he is a walk on, but still has the same eligibility rules as scholarship players. Since he redshirted his second year, he's technically a redshirt junior this year. That's why he wasn't honored at the senior night ceremony on Tuesday: He has another year of eligibility.

Well if memory serves me the Greater Grade School Conference of Sheboygan was able to keep the long arm of the NCAA out of their by-laws....seems to me God was still the commissioner and what he believed depended on which gym you were in...those were the days,,,not only could you smell the popcorn , you could hear it popping and the fold out table with home made brownies , cookies,,,maybe some scouts selling Worlds Finest Chocolate.......small kids running under the bleachers . some skinny kid trying with all his might to get a free throw to the rim..shoulda been a Norman Rockwell picture,,,,,with the scoreboard reading 2-0 and maybe a dog on a leash outside the gym
and the two coaches shaking hands one grinning and the other sheepishly stunned ( I hope the stunned look is worn by Waddle tomorrow)
