Very impressive tight, harassing, stealing, shot-blocking defense. Game was ties at 39 (7:29 in 3rd), 41 (6:03 and 43 (4:43) before a Hilltopper who's 3-for-4 from beyond the arc hit a three point goal.

Video stream is good -- except for the odd cut to a still frame when Rice is shooting FTs. (WTH? How can that be intentional?)

WKU hitting 3s again. 2:29 left in 3rd, they are now up
52 - 45.

Yet another 3 by the Hilltopper sharp shooter makes it 52-4, with 2:29 left in the 3rd.

Goodwine's bunny at the buzzer makes it 57 - 49 at the end of three periods.
