Halftime Report

A win for Alabama 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 UNC-Ash. 50-29.

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