THEY WATCH THE CURRENT TEAM. THE 2008 DRAKE BULLDOGS OR PICTURE FINISH KNIFE. JOSH: DIDN’T KNOW IT WOULD TURN OUT TO BE THE TYPE OF SEASON THE ADAM: PIECES FIT SO WELL. AS WE WERE SUCH A WELL OILED GROUP. ELGIN: POINT GUARD ADAM EMMENECKER LED THE ATTACK, WOULD DRIVE IN AND EITHER FINISH OR FIND THE OPEN 3 POINT SHOOTER. WITH GUYS LIKE JOSH YOUNG AND CLAYOTN KORVER WERE MONEY JOSH: EVERYONE MADE 3S ON OUR TEAM. ELGIN: WIN AFTER WIN AFTER WIN. THE STREAK REACHED A SCHOOL-RECORD 21 IN A ROW. COACH KENO DAVIS’ TEAM WAS RANKED FOR 8 WEEKS IN A ROW THE KNAPP CENTER, JOSH, WAS ELECTRIC. WAS SOLD OUT EVERY HOME GA JOSH: THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE CRAZIEST THING, PEOPLE ARE AT A DRAKE GAME SCALPING TICKETS. ADAM: WE HAD GONE TO ELEMENTAR SCHOOLS AND GIVEN OUT TICKETS. BECAUSE WE WANTED ANYONE TO COME TO THE GAME. WE WERE TURNING AWAY SIX AND SEVEN-YEAR-OLDS THAT WANTED TO COME TO THE GAME BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT ANY SPACE. ELGIN: THEY WON THE VALLEY REGULAR SEASON TITLE, AND THE TOURNAMENT TITLE, ADVANCING TO THE DANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE 70‘S. THEY WERE THE 5 SEED IN TAMPA AND A DARKHORSE FINAL FOUR PICK. JOSH: HAD ENTIRE STATE ROOTING FOR US. EVERYONE WAS BEHIND US. I WAS SURPRISED AT THE TURNOUT. TURNOUT IN TAMPA WAS CRAZY ELGIN: THEIR FIRST ROUND GAME AGAINST WESTERN KENTUCKY WENT TO OVERTIME, DRAKE LED BY ONE IN THE FINAL SECONDS. >> STILL HURTS STILL HURTS. ELGIN: TY ROGERS DRAINED A 26 FOO 3 TO GIVE THE 12TH-SEEDED HILLTOPERS A 101-99 WIN, AND JUST LIKE THAT, THE MAGICAL RIDE WAS DONE. JOSH: WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT EVERY YEAR. THEY LOVE SHOWING THE TY ROGERS SHOT. IT IS GREAT MARKETING MATERIAL. IT IS SUCH A SAD ORDEAL BC THAT SEASON WAS SO MAGICAL. WE WERE REALLY A GROUP OF BROTHERS. ADAM: WE HAD QUITE A JOURNEY.

ELGIN: DRAKE HASN’T BEEN BACK TO THE DANCE SINCE, UNTIL THESE GUYS WHO CAME IN PICKED TO FINISH SEVENTH IN THE VALLEY. AND WHEN JOSH: SIMILARITES 25-4. BETWEEN THAT TEAM AND OUR TEAM IS THE TRUST THEY HAVE WITH EACH OTHER. THE WAY THAT THEY PLAY. THEY ARE SO COHESIVE, YOU CAN TELL THAT THEY ENJOY EACH OTHER’S COMPANIES OFF THE COURT AND ON THE COURT. I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MATCHUP. >> YOU CAN TELL THIS IS NOT JUST STRIKING LIGHTNING ONCE. THIS IS NOT LUCK. THEY CAME TOGETHER. THIS TEAM IS GOING TO FIGHT THEIR BUTTS OFF. THAT MENTAILITY AND UNDE
