The Drake Bulldogs (my alma mater, not their cousins from the SEC) are off to a start not seen since the days of Maury John. After last night's win over Bradley, Drake is now 6-0 in the Missouri Valley and 15-1 overall. Not bad for a team picked to finish ninth in the Missouri Valley. It's an unbelievable start for first year head coach Keno Davis, who took over from his father Dr. Tom Davis. There's a reason his name is Keno.

1/19/08 UPDATE: Sans leading scorer Josh Young, Drake rallied to overcome a twelve point second half deficit to beat Illinois State. Drake now has a fifteen game winning streak and is the only remaining undefeated team in the MVC.
