I just got seated down on press row at the Joel. It's pretty sloppy out there right now.
Howard is up 11-7 with 13:19 left.
Hopefully A&T will go on a run pretty soon.

Porter just missed two free throws and Howard's No. 2 (I'll get a roster later) just nailed a 3-pointer on the next trip down the court.
However, Nick Simpson quickly answered with his own 3 pointer to pull A&T back to 14-10 with 11:27 left.
Dead ball. Media time out.

Howard's Curtis White just connected from behind the arc and No. 2 just made a tough turnaround jumper.
Porter gets A&T back on the board with a layup and but on the opposite end he was called for a foul. Howard's No. 13 knocks down both free throws to make the score 21-12 with 9:31 left.

Oddly enough, we haven't been shooting a whole lot of crazy 3s yet.
The operative word is "yet".

you spoke to soon. Announcer just said it seems like we are just settling for 3's and are not even attempting to go inside

Both teams trade missed baskets before Nick Simpson hits an awkward double pump layup in the lane.
Howard's Curtis White hits a 3 pointer on the next trip down and then Dwane Joshua responds with a 3 of his own.

BTW: The A&T crowd is pretty dead.
Actually everyone in building right now seems like it is past their bed time.

Tough layup by Alston! No. 2 - his name is Calvin Thompson, I think - quickly responds with a fade-away jumper.
Coleman converts a tip-in on the other end to make the score 26-21 with 5:46 left.

There you go, Robert Johnson. Nice short jumper.
However, you got to play defense too. He just let Howard's guard slice through the lane for an east layup.

Marc Hill slows down on a fast break and nails a pull up jump shot. Like I said before we are not taking a lot of wild crazy shot tonight.
The things that is hurting us is our lack of defense. Howard is getting a lot of open, easy looks.
Foul on A&T. Two shots coming. TV timeout.

Check that. It wasn't a shooting foul.
Howard takes the ball out under the basket but misses a long 3 point attempt as the clock was winding down.
Actually, Howard is taking way more 3s than we are.
Porter just got fouled on a put back attempt and goes to the line. However he shoots free throws worst than Thomas Coleman's barber cuts fades.
Well not that bad, I guess. He did make one of two.

Howard missed the front end of a one-and-one and Marc Hill missed a wild 3 point attempt. (why?).
After another Bison miss, Nick Simpson again hits a short jumper in the lane.
Howard rushed down the court ... but gets called for a charge.
Porter draws a foul on the next trip down and again makes one free throw.
Time out on the floor.
A&T 29, Howard 28.
49 seconds left before halftime.

Somebody for Howard made a quick basket and A&T sets up for the last shot.
Marc Hill knifes through the defense and dishes off to Porter at the last second; Porter draws a foul.
Guess what? Porter actually makes both free throws this time!
Halftime - A&T 31, Howard 30.
So far this game is pretty evenly matched. The Bison started off fast but, much to our credit, we maintained our composure.
Shot selection was a lot better than what it's been in recent weeks, so I can't complain too much.
However, our defense still needs to improve if we are going to have a chance to pull this thing out.
