Halftime Report

A win for Campbell would push their record over .500, and after one quarter of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. They have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead Hofstra 43-20. This game looks nothing like the tight 69-67 margin from Campbell's win over Hofstra in their previous head-to-head last Saturday.

Campbell already has seven blowout wins this season, but why stop there? Barring a freak comeback, they will be celebrating another huge victory in the locker room very soon.
