It's been a while since Drake University found themselves in this position so in honor of that we're going retro and wearing our best plaid suit and recapping last night's games...
5)Tennessee 66 Kentucky 72- For the second time in 10 days Kentucky beat a ranked opponent at home and are now on the verge of breaking the .500 mark. Bruce Pearl's orange jacket and Chris Lofton's SEC topping three werent enough for the Vols as Billy ball looks to be in full effect in Lexington.
Michigan 61 11)Wisconsin 64- It was only 4 weeks ago that Wisconsin was on the ropes against Texas before Michael Flowers' three pointer lifted the Badgers. Now, they are at the door of the top 10 looking in. It was also a few weeks ago that John Beilein said his team was a bunch of toddlers. Beilein's squad didn't look so bad last night as they took Wisconsin down to the wire behind a strong effort on the boards. Wisconsin needed this one as they start a stretch of games against Indiana and Michigan State (both ranked in the top 10) and a strong Purdue team.
24) Drake 68 Creighton 60- For years Creighton has seemed to be the face of the MVC, and upstart MVC program Drake needed five extra minutes to hold them off in this one. It's been 37 years since Drake went dancing in March, but things are looking good for the Bulldogs after this performance. It would take a Clemson 2007-like performance for them to blow their ticket to the tourney.
