Has Point played a worse half of basketball thiis season than tonight's 2nd half?

Point hasn't played a worse half in 2 decades.  And that time period includes two games where Point was down 17-0 and 20-0 to start a game (won one of those games by 15 a few years ago in the NCAA tournament and barely lost the other after taking a second half lead).

But you do have to give Point credit... they retook the lead with :27 and had been outscored 34-7 and were down 12 at the 6:07 mark in the half.

They were certainly slow out of the blocks. In the irst half the defense was tenacious, in the second, it was a step or two slow until the last 6 minutes.
