| Game Stars - |
| Western Kentucky Hilltoppers-Tyrone Brazelton: 33 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists. Drake Bulldogs-Jonathan Cox: 29 points, 16 rebounds. |
| Final - |
| Drake got off to a very cold start through all of the first half and 5 minutes of the 2nd. Once they got going though and their defense tightened up they were able to tie the game up and send it to overtime. Despite very bad shot selection at times and some bad decisions on defense, the Bulldogs hung around. |
| Final - |
| The three-ball put them in the lead, caused their collapse, and eventually won them the game. Western Kentucky shot 51% from the three-point line and it was the shot by Ty Rogers that sends them into the second round. Tyrone Brazelton led four players in double digits with 33 points. It was the Hilltopper bench that essentially won the game for them as they outscored Drake's bench 26-3. |
| OT - 0:01 |
| Western Kentucky's Ty Rogers is the hero of the day for the Hilltoppers. He comes through with the three-pointer with 2 defenders draped all over him. Western Kentucky will now move on to face the winner of the San Diego vs. Connecticut game to be played later today. |
| OT - 0:05 |
| It's down to this last play as Western Kentucky has the ball with five seconds left in the game. They are down by one and if your Drake just crowd them a the 3-point line. |
