Announcer Michael Admire
(St. Louis, MO) – Top seeded Drake and Southern Illinois open day two of the Missouri Valley Conference postseason basketball tournament. This Arch Madness preview comes from Drake broadcaster Michael Admire. The enthusiastic Admire can be seen at Drake events wearing an old-school sweater with a large ‘D’ on the front.
We spent time discussing what the Bulldogs have already accomplished and previewed the contest with SIU. Drake was the runaway winner of the regular season title, posting a league mark of 17-3. SIU was 8-12 and are playing in this quarterfinal round by virtue of a thrilling, one-point win over Indiana State.
Admire says league MVC Bennett Stirtz is as steady in real life as he is on the basketball floor. Our complete interview with Drake announcer Michael Admire can be heard at Valley Hoops Insider Podcasts.
More from Arch Madness all weekend long is on the way.

I haven't heard, nor do I know, how does this apply to the typical 'foreign' basketball player that is most often over 19?
Obviously, this is a sentimental and not a ‘spreadsheet’ notion, but would hate to see @MVCsports change the #ArchMadness format from the traditional ‘family reunion’ feel by cutting teams from the experience. #FatherHarry
Another nice @MVCsports basketball schedule announcement. #FatherHarry . .
Congrats to @ISURedbirdGolf. T.J. Barger sets a school record. Pietro Pontiggia records the Redbirds' second-ever top 20 finish at a regional. The team finishes tent in the region which is tied for the program's best regional finish! #FatherHarry
