Halftime update

Defenses continue to rule at the moment with the Broncos holding a 21-16 advantage.

The pace of the game picked up quite a bit in the second quarter, with the Broncos able to get out in transition at times for layups. And they continue to live in the lane, still yet to hit a shot outside of five feet, which is just fine with head coach Mike Hilbert. They did the same thing in a 10-point win at Liberty last Friday.

The Tigers continue to struggle from the field, although a lot of that can be contributed to the Bronco defense. North is doing a good job of challenging shots and even threw in a 3-2 zone at times to slow the Tigers down.

Lee's Summit is currently just 6 of 22 from the field. North isn't allowing penetration easily, and when the Tigers do have a chance to get in the lane, 6-foot-8 David Kravish is altering shots and getting blocks.

Neither team is playing all that bad at this point, but I expect the level of play to pick up quite a bit in the second half. If the Broncos are able to extend the lead in the third quarter, it could be tough for the Tigers to come back, although definitely not out of the question with their ability to shoot from long range.

For the most part, Lee's Summit is doing a good job being patient and running their offense, they've just go to start hitting a few more shots. Another 6 for 22 half and they're in trouble.

Kenny Berry is leading the Broncos with six points, while the Tigers are led by Sean Green with six as well.
