So, what does a 30 pt home fav leading by 7 pts at the half signify?
Pretty much that it was the 1st 20 mins of the season.
Not trying to be a Clutch City Homer, but this is a feeling-out process.
OTOH, as B2B correctly pointed out, the 1H math is reflective of a shortfall in general expectations of a full-game 30 pt spread. And, as my eye was focused on CMC’s heretofore unimaginative halfcourt O of the last season or so, it’s still unimaginative despite getting a major boost at the point from a game-high scorer and game-high assist man in Dent.
No Dailey hurts us, particularly on the O end, but E Wash is not at full strength either.
Imagine CMC is being vocal as hell in the halftime locker room. Also imagine UCLA will come out, ummm, extra motivated in the 2H.
GO BRUINS!
