M. Basketball. Fran McCaffery News Conference Transcript

Q. When you look at Drake, maybe record-wise they're not there yet but they're competitive and he's got guys he seems to like. What are you seeing from them?
Fran McCaffery: They've continued to improve; they run good stuff. He's got three very talented scorers. He's got a couple big kids that are impressive. He's got some athletes on the wing, so you can see him kind of putting it together piece by piece. He plays 11 guys, so he's had some really good recruits.

It's a team that's been impressive. They had a tough overtime loss at Tulane, a game that they played tremendously well in, and then an overtime win over Western Kentucky, a big-time win in a tournament situation.
