Halftime Report

A win for Iowa 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 jumped out to a quick 42-35 lead against Texas A&M-Commerce.

If Iowa keeps playing like this they'll be starting off their season with a 'W'. On the other hand, Texas A&M-Commerce will be starting their season off on the wrong foot unless they turn things around (and fast).
