Rockets off to a quick start 6-0, timeout Miami.

Rockets 13 Redhawks 4, 1st media timeout.

Our guards need to play good D tonight.

Jon Jon & Stuckey with a couple of buckets a piece, Sanford has a 3.

UT 19 MU 4, under 12 timeout. Rough few minutes there, but Rockets have extended their lead. Miami just chucking up shots. Very similar to the first 30 minutes in Oxford.

Toledo 25 Miami 13, under 8 timeout, some sloppy passing, allowing Miami some transition buckets.

Strength of this Miami team is their guards. On D, they've contributed to the Rockets going very deep into the shot clock. Rockets need to figure this D out.

Jon Jon becomes 34th member of the 1000 point club.

Nice little stretch there, Sanford caps with a 3, UT 33 MU 13, timeout Miami.

Sanford with 10 now. Seems like lately either he or Navigato is stepping up offensively every game.

Rockets certainly seem more comfortable in transition than in their half court offense so far.

Neither team can hit a shot right now, I believe the announcer said Boothe is 1-7. Rockets still up 17.

35-18 Rockets at the half, neither team scored in the last 3 minutes.

Well, we could have had about 10 more points here at halftime. Really struggled in the half court offense over the last 8 or 9 minutes there. Seemed like all that great energy from the first 5 minutes disappeared as it has a habit of doing this season. Perimeter D will be key in the second half--Miami prefers to drive and dish over shooting 3s but we'll have to watch out for both. Boothe seems to be having a rougher go of it these last few games. Would be nice to see him be able to assert himself in the second half.
