The shooting picked up a little for both teams in the final minutes of the first half, but not a lot.
ISU finished the first half 7-22 overall and 1-8 from three. Evansville was 9-31 and 3-16 from three.

Evansville's leading scorer on the season, Ben Humrichous, had just 2 points on 0-5 shooting (0-4 from three). ISU's leading scorer, Darius Burford, also had just 2 points, and Johnny Kinzinger, who has been their best scorer in the last month, had just 1 point.
With all the terrible shooting statistics in these first 3 games, maybe someone should measure the diameter of the rims.
I will note that the production value of these telecasts is terrific. They have plenty of camera angles, the video quality is excellent, graphics are good, and the broadcasters, studio analysts, and sideline interviewers are all very good. Nice job by the MVC-TV Network.
