Halftime Report - Fresno State 35, Creighton 26
The Jays put together a first half extremely remiscient of the horrid 20 minutes that the team put together in Dayton. Early on, the Jays have been ice cold from outside and Hernandez and Hosley are nailing down the paint with several early blocks. Tolliver and Watts haven't been able to get many clean shots off down low and it's taking the Jays completely out of their offensive flow.
On the other end of the court, it's bombs away and the Bulldogs are letting the trey go flying and they're cashing in. Off the bench, JUCO transfer guard Eddie Miller has been absolutely deadly from downtown. FSU has been extremely effective getting the transition game going and catching the Jays off guard, hitting a wide open shooter with no one within 15 feet of him.
A late mini-run by CU brought the Jays back to within nine, after trailing by as much as 15, which gives the team something to work with going into the second half. If the Jays are going to win this game, the formula is fairly simple: force the Bulldogs into the half court set, get the ball into the post and take it to the rack strong and, make the open shot! Funk, Miles and Porter are your three main scoring threats at the guard spot and all have been cold yet again. Funk, especially, continues to look off on his outside shot. Creighton is going to half to find some production from mid-range and out if they're going to find success in the rest of this game.
