Why is it (maybe I'm just imagining) that teams typically score more in the second half than they do in the first? I think the halftime score was 29-25. Second half score, then, would be 33-45. Is it because the teams have had the chance to make changes at halftime? Or because they've gotten the chance to warm up? Or what? I've never really had a good answer to that.

Probably all of the above, plus many good defenders getting into foul trouble and riding the pine.

Tough win Bucks, two double doubles is pretty sweet. At the three minute mark, the Vice President flew into Charleston, the station cut to split screen, no audio on the game to talk about how pretty Air Force 2 is while landing. Holy Christ, I miss the end of the game for this? I was a Repbublican but it's questionable now. He's in town to speak to the Hibernian society for St. Pats day. :smash: :smash: :smash:

This is what I noticed. In the 1st half it was 4 stand around the 3 point line and just Dials underneath. No movement at all. Then there were adjustments made and there was actually movement on offense and Ohio State took the ball to the basket.

The first half is about what I expected. Settling for the 3. Lackluster passing. Dials proving himself to be probably the most overrated big 10 MVP in recent memory. You should be able to ride your MVP over a team like Davidson.We may yet win. But only to be embarrassed by Georgetown or Northern Iowa. We'd lose by 25 to Florida.When Oden is here next year, we will be even more impressed that Matta was somehow able to win the big 10 regular season title with such marginal talent.

Dials turned it around in the second half, playing almost the whole game.....I don't agree with your overrated comment, he has earned it in my opinion. I think in the second half they did ride Dials, so I guess you spoke to soon.
