Halftime Report

A win for Minnesota 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 Oral Roberts 38-24.

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