Good start and fairly even game. ODU has the advantage inside and we need to stop the drives but we have more ability outside just need to hit the open shots.

Jackson leads the Owls with 8pts
Egor has 7 and Evans with just the two early 3s for 6pts.

It's been a different team with Corey Douglas out.

I think something more might be going on with Douglas than a hamstring tweak.

Owls being outscored in the paint 22-10 by ODU.

Drone with the dunk follow! Then he fouls at other end with 1 sec left.

weird way to a lead. Didn't feel like it. Way below our average.

Lott was down on the floor under the Rice basket so there was no one to sloow down the ODU player to the hoop.

31-30 at the half Owls lead. Good first 30 against one of the better CUSA teams.
