Halftime Report

A win for Holy Cross 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 36-35 lead against Wisconsin.

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