The game started ugly, and stayed that way for a while. Wichita State's Ron Baker finally hit the first points with a beautiful three pointer, and a minute later, Retin Obasohan answered with a three pointer of his own. The story of the early quarter of the game was both teams missing shots, but the Shockers getting ALL of the offensive rebounds. However, a lot of those did not seem to be the Shockers out hustling or muscling the Tide, but rather all the bounces going their way. At the end of the half, Wichita State had 11 offensive rebounds to only one from Alabama.
