When you boil a lobster, it dies slowly, not realizing that the water is getting hotter and hotter. That’s what the first half of this game was like.
Neither team played particularly terrible. Flawed to be sure, but not as awful as another NIU game a couple years ago. Eventually, after one too many bad shots and one too many turnovers, I realized the crap I was watching.
Noah McCarty, a freshman from Rock Falls, hit three mid range jumpers off the bench. The kid did well. He was the leading Husky scorer at the half, with 6 whole points, to give you an idea.
