HALFTIME REPORT: Alabama up on Drake at the half 33-29
After dropping one to the Iona Gaels in the ESPN Events Invitational, the Crimson Tide are hoping for a better outcome today against the Drake Bulldogs, another 2020 NCAA Tournament team.
After jumping to a 15-point lead a few minutes before the half, the Crimson Tide committed a few turnovers and allowed the Bulldogs to fight back to within four. The score is now 33-29 with 20 minutes to go.
Alabama is, again, having a bad day shooting free throws midway through this game. The Tide has hit on just 2-6.
Turnovers are still a lingering issue, for sure, with the Tide giving it up 11 times in the first half.
The Crimson Tide are shooting 48.3%, including 30% from three.
Alabama’s leading scorer is Jaden Shackelford with 10 points, he’s also added a pair of rebounds to his stat line.
Defensively, the Crimson Tide is allowing 42% shooting and 43% from three-point range.
Drake is led in scoring by Shanquan Hemphill with eight points and three rebounds.
With a full half of basketball remaining, Alabama is still in a good position to get back in the win column.
