Halftime Report

A win for Delaware would push their record over .500, and after one quarter of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. Sitting on a score of 46-37, they have looked like the better team, but there's still one more half to play.

If Delaware keeps playing like this they'll be starting off their season with a 'W'. On the other hand, Bucknell will be starting their season off on the wrong foot unless they turn things around (and fast).
