Northern Iowa at VCU - Fri 6pm ESPN2

I must admit this is fun to watch, but I'm guessing it won't be in the second half...

Incredible game. Great half for UNI. Need to continue to make it a half court game. Hopefully get Burgess a quick 3rd.

I really don't like the BracketBusters for the Valley, but for my Valley fanship it is an amazing event. It's nice yelling at my TV in February for a team other than my Shocks.

44-42 at the half? Wow, I don't think this is the pace that Jake wants in the second half. Hopefully the shots keep falling for UNI.

good half. A lot of turnovers, but that's somewhat expected, need to cut them down a bit in the second. UNI getting a lot of open shots and hitting them for the most part. Need to shore up the defense. Deon Mitchell is handling things pretty well so far, IMO.

Deon has done a good job handling the ball...Anthony James on the other hand has not.

[AndShock]

Damn, completely forgot about this game.

Tuttle and Mitchell look like the Juniors while Koch and James look like the Freshmen...

I am a VCU fan from my 12 years in Virginia and after their run last year. However, am rooting for the Panthers. I am watching UNI and wonderering how we beat them twice this year. I do know that the second game was a "tie." With Tuttle and James, the future looks good.

What is up with the clock? I understand from Dakich that they don't use a clock operator, that the officials control the clock with a wireless device on their belts.

Why is that better than a clock operator?

Sound activated stop on the whistle (I believe)...almost instant....the official also starts the clock by a transmitter on the belt.

Basically the official start and stops it rather than him doing the signals and the scorer reacting from there causing a couple tenth of a second delay.
