I think it was actually for delay - he tipped the ball away after his dunk

Surprised Tyler sees the floor before Griffin

 

[TownieMatt]

Hell of a half. Underwood definitely putting his stamp on this group. The weaknesses are there, but the effort and intensity is so much better.

 

[breadman]

Very nice first half. Really enjoying this.

 

[Seagee]

And the Student U folks have had our score wrong for the last 5 mins

 

[westms77]

Wow...that's the way to start the season fellas

 

[foby]

Rarely had this much fun watching last season. I love this team.

 

[hoopsfan47]

May have to up my season prediction for wins..........from 9 to 12!!!

And Andres not having as great a game as you’d expect, but that’s ok cause Ayo and Trent are doing there thing! And AJ too

I know its early and the competition is not so hot - but Giorgi is really a nice surprise so far. Very quick feet, runs the floor well and has a nose for the ball.
