57 point first half..evanj are you up to the task to put that into historical perspective?
I was typing while you posted. I don't have a way of finding out what our record or the CAA record is for points in a half. The NCAA record will be way above that, so I'm not checking. As I posted, we should focus on Silverio's threes.
Detroit had more rebounds, 12 to 11. According to the Sports-Reference College Basketball Play Index, from 2010-2011 to before today we played three games in which both teams had 24 or fewer rebounds. We won all three games, which were 86-72 hosting Charleston on January 19, 2019; 92-72 hosting North Carolina A&T on November 14, 2018; and 76-67 at Northeastern on January 8, 2011. We were on pace to score 114 and be outrebounded, which was done 23 times from 2010-2011 to yesterday., and never by or against a CAA team. 13 of the 23 times went at least one overtime, and 8 went at least three overtimes.
We shot field goals 21-29 (.724), but Hofstra's Guide doesn't give our team field record for field goal percentage in a game.
Edit: The lead went down to 72-63. Antoine Davis has 14 in the second half to lead all scorers with 25. Silverio has 2 fouls and no field goal attempts in the second half.
Edit: Silverio made his seventh three without a miss to go up double-digits and give him 25 points.
Edit: With 10:40 left, Silverio committed an offensive foul for his fourth foul, and was subbed out, so it will be hard for him to reach the CAA record of ten threes.
Edit: We're on a 7-0 run to lead 79-63.
Edit: We're on a 17-4 run to go up 89-67. Detroit has made over half of their field goals, half of their threes, all of their free throws, has 1 more rebounds, and trails by 22 with 6:34 left!
