Just under twelve minutes to go in the half.

[Gregory Sager]

Carthage up, 17-9, with 9:05 to go in the half.

At the half:

Carthage 33
Calvin 28

The Red Men have been in charge throughout the game thus far, leading since very early. Carthage was up by as many as 13, but the Red Men haven't been able to maintain space between themselves and the Knights. Mal Kelly leads the Red Men with 11, while Matt DeBoer leads Calvin with 7.

Calvin owns the boards, 17-15, but the Knights are shooting less than 40% from the field.

The quality of these two teams seems to be significantly below the bar set by the two teams that played earlier tonight.
