Hopefully Drake wins this. Any word on Hemphill returning? That would certainly help.

So, seriously...anybody heard anything about Hemphill's availability?

Wondering the same thing - hope Tank can play

He's "on track" to play per Drake's Coach.

Big difference between suiting up and performing near 100%. I'm hopeful but skeptical. We should learn a bunch in the first 10 minutes.

Go Drake! Winning this game would be huge for the conference! With Hemphill back they can definitely do it if he can give them quality minutes.

Drake can’t buy a basket in the first half. Shockers defensive intensity and offensive rebounding has controlled play thus far.

[VUGrad1314]

Well this first half could not possibly have gone worse... But if Drake can close in the next few minutes they can stay in and maybe steal it at the end. How many turnovers do they have right now though? 9?

[MVCfans]

10-0 run to end the half. Shockers by 1.

[VUGrad1314]

Great close to the half! Hanging right there with them! If they can come out and keep the momentum going I like their chances!

[goramblers2011]

Drake's lack of big man depth is killing them. But Yesefu is so good that they are somehow still alive.
