Playing favorites?

Are the refs playing favorites?
Maybe. Drake has shot 16 free throws compared to NONE in the first half for WKU. The Hilltoppers got called for 13 fouls to Drake's 6.
Tyrone Brazelton doesn't care, he just keeps shooting 3's, including a desperation heave at the buzzer that nearly dropped from half court. If they keep going in (he's 3-6) then it won't matter how many fouls are called.

Drake is thinking the same thing as Brazelton: Just Shoot It.
The teams have put on a clinic from deep, with Drake 5-17 and WKU 7-16.
WKU has the momentum going into halftime and is keeping the Drake fans pretty quiet (maybe that's just because I'm in front of the Hilltoppers' fans).
UConn coach Jim Calhoun just walked in front of the WKU section and got a rousing "You're next" chant from the crowd. If the Huskies and 'Tops both win today they'll face off Sunday.
At the half, it's 47-38 WKU.
