Halftime: Foul trouble for WKU
This is crazy. Drake's shot chart includes just one 2-point shot besides layups. Klayton Korver has taken a few shots from the Gulf of Mexico that, needless to say, didn't go in.
Leonard Houston leads Drake with 11 points, while Courtney Lee and Tyrone Brazelton have 9 each for WKU.
The key to the second half is fouls.
Both teams have shown they can shoot from outside, but they are bound to cool down and someone has to grab those rebounds. WKU had the clear advantage earlier with D.J. Magley down low, but two quick fouls put him on the bench. The 'Tops can't expect that 60 percent shooting performance in the first half to last forever, and since they have five players with two fouls they had better be careful.
The Bulldogs have taken full advantage of the foul situation, making 13 of 16 from the charity stripe.
Drake is a bit skittish trying to go down low, and they usually do so by spreading the floor, driving and looking for a cutter. There have been very few (if any) post-up moves by the Bulldogs.
That's something they need to improve to keep their Cindarella season alive and avoid the upset.
Should be an exciting second half.
