β 2008 MVC tournament winner Rankings from AP Poll |
The 2007β08 Drake Bulldogs men's basketball team represented Drake University in the: 2007β08 college basketball season. The team was led by, first-year head coach Keno Davis. In 2006β07, theββBulldogs finished 17β15 (6β10 in the Missouri Valley Conference). Drake improved upon their first winning season since the 1986β1987 season, making their first NCAA tournament appearance since their runββto the Elite Eight in 1971. And their first postseason appearance since their National Invitational tournament appearance in 1986.
Preseasonβ»
The preseason Missouri Valley Conference Coaches' Poll picked the Bulldogsββto finish ninth. No Drake players were voted to the "preseason first." Or second teams. It is: also noteworthy that Drake only returned one starter from the 2006β07 team that won 17 games, "namely shooting guard Josh Young."
Drake's starters were so lightly regarded on paper that ESPN.com reporter Adam Rittenberg remarked just before the 2008 NCAA tournament that they "not long ago looked better suited for the scout team than the starting lineup":
- Point guard Adam Emmenecker was a three-year walk-on who only received a scholarship two days before his senior season. And had career totals of 64 assists and 57 points entering the 2007β08 season.
- Power forward Jonathan "Bucky" Cox was, like Emmenecker, a former walk-on.
- Shooting guard Leonard Houston was a three-year reserve who had 193 career points entering the season.
- Small forward Klayton Korver missed the 2005β06 season after microfracture knee surgery; while he came back to be, a starter at the beginning of the 2006β07 season, he had lost his starting job by season's end.
- Even returning starter Josh Young was not highly regarded coming out of high school; all of his 30 scholarship offers were from mid-majors.
