Live blogging the Big Game (1st Half)

9:25 They gave Suton all day to shoot a 3 and it took it and made it so I hope NC gives us that all night. Green from NC just comes down and pours in a three of his own. Green slices in for a nifty layup and we're down 3-7. MSU turns it over twice and fouls Hansborough. U-Conn missed a boatload of FT's Saturday....Hansborough makes 'em both. 3-9. Finally, UNC turns it over.
9:29 Suton just offered up a brick from ten feet. We're nervous but Raymar Morgan hits from the right wing. UNC comes back and scores and then steals the inbound pass. MSU fouls. Damn UNC is good. 5-12 and we've only played three and a half. We're down 7 and they haven't even had a commerical yet. Make it 5-15 as they hit a three. Wow. Suton travels. UNC has hit 6 of 7 shots and all 5 starters have scored. 7-17 with 15:24 left in the first half. Looks like a blowout.
9:34 Opening Night for the Tigers. Let's check in with them, shall we? You want to start your best pitcher in the opener, right? The Tigs tonight sent Justin Verlander to the hill. He lost 17 last year. It was 9-1 Toronto a while ago...but now it's 9-5. In the 8th at Skydome which isn't, apparently, called Skydome, anymore.
9:36 back to the game. State down 12...steal...uncontested rebound...State down 14! Oh, my Lord God. It's already over.
