Loose ball leads to a jumpball. VCU gets possession. Long three attempt no good for JMU and VCU gets the ball. But looks like both teams are coming out of half with a bit of a slump. Larry gets two shots but misses his first. Gets his second to fall and gives the Rams their first points of the half.
Back and VCU brings the ball up, Maynor misses a 3 pointer and JMU gets the rebound.
Halftime: 28-26 VCU leads. Eric has 6 points and is 14 points shy of breaking the record. (Which I hope does not happen tonight, and instead gets posted at the STU, not to be selfish or anything. Unless of course we need those points. But hopefully we won't)
On the inbound Eric gets tied up with a JMU player, the crowd boo's and screams. But same situation occurs. Eric and the JMU player get up and laugh it off together. The run to half time together laughing. Good to see sportsmanship out there.
