Greetings from Tampa
First off, I don't have an assigned seat so I'm a bit of a drifter today. My apologies if I disappear for a half.
We're about to tip off between Drake and Western Kentucky, and there's a lot of blue here in Tampa. No, not Drake fans, empty blue seats in the St. Pete Times Forum.
I'm sure it will fill up more as the game goes on, and as of now both Drake and Western Kentucky have a rowdy few sections of supporters.
(FYI: The Hilltoppers' band is playing 'You Give Love a Bad Name' by Bon Jovi. Major points there)
Here are your Starting Lineups:
WKU
D.J. Magley - F
Jeremy Evans - F
Tyrone Brazelton - G
Ty Rogers - G
Courtney Lee - G
Drake
Klayton Korver (yes, he's Kyle's brother) - F
Jonathan Cox - F
Leonard Houston - G
Adam Emmenecker - G
Josh Young - G
Players to watch:
WKU - Courtney Lee/Tyrone Brazelton - The senior guards are the anchor of this team, and this will likely be a backcourt battle. This pair needs to play mistake-free for the Hilltoppers to pull off an upset.
Drake - Adam Emmenecker, MVC Player of the Year - He's not a big-time scorer, but we wouldn't know since he never tries to put up more than 10 points. He dishes the rock like Steve Nash and is critical to Drake's success.
