Who's the underdog?
The forum is getting pretty rowdy now. It's almost full, with a lot of fans who look like they're trying to figure out who to root for.
Hilltoppers' fans are pretty ticked off at the officiating. D.J. Magley was looking pretty solid in the paint, but two early fouls forced him to sit. They're in an odd position, an underdog team playing Drake, who was an underdog all year beloved by most. WKU doesn't seem to be getting any love as the little guy - from fans or refs.
Then again, the Hilltoppers aren't doing themselves any favors either. Drake had an inbounds pass with 1 second left on the shot clock, and WKU fouled Leonard Houston as he went up for an alley-oop. Those were two dumb points lost for the 'Tops.
Brazelton seems to like shooting 3's from just a bit left of the top of the key. He's taken several from that exact spot, and he's 2-3.
Drake's Leonard Houston is posing a real backcourt threat (11 points). He's harassing the WKU guards and starting fast breaks left and right. The 'Tops have racked up nine fouls to Drake's three.
WKU is shooting 60 percent though, mostly because they're staying downlow and occasionally opening up Brazelton for a bomb.
With 7:44 left, it's Drake 28, WKU 26.
