13:52 !st Half: Both teams get off to a strong start offensively. Baylor looks a little more crisp at both ends of the court. A high scoring game will favor the Bears. Hoyas use a 7-0 run and sharp shooting to take the early lead. GU 16, BU 12.
11:44 1st Half: Georgetown is taking control, hitting just about every shot against the Baylor zone. Conversely, the Bears are having trouble creating shots against the Georgetown defense. GU 23, BU 15.
7:55 1st Half: The Hoyas started off the game 11-13 from the floor and are having much more ease creating shots that the Bears. Their defense has been stellar thus far, steadily slowing down Baylor's offense. GU 29, BU 19.
3:54 1st Half: Baylor set the tone early in this stretch with a three pointer off the inbound. After a Georgetown turnover, Quincy Acy threw down a forceful dunk to cut the lead to five. But the Hoyas refused to let it get the better of them and held a steady lead. GU 35, BU 26.
Halftime: Since the Hoyas took a double digit lead early in the half, Baylor has not been able to generate enough momentum to go on a run. The Hoyas may be one of the best six seeds the NIT has ever seen. GU 44, BU 34.
14:09 2nd Half: Baylor responded to the call early in the second half, going on an 8-0 run to cut the Georgetown lead to two. The Bears went on to claim the lead just over three minutes into the half. The game is turning into a fast paced chess match. Looks like we're in for a great second half. GU 51, BU 51.
10:55 2nd Half: The teams are about as statistically even as possible in this stage of the game. Whoever can pull this one out is going to ride a huge wave of momentum into the game against Virginia Tech in the second round. GU 60, BU 57.
7:11 2nd Half: Baylor continues to use the alley oop play out of timeouts, which Georgetown has not been able to stop all night. Baylor has risen its level of play to match Georgetown this half and is making more shots than in the first half. GU 65, BU 63.
3:34 2nd Half: The Bears have seized the lead, locking down on the defensive end and showing good patience on offense. They have been able to work the ball into the low post and get easy buckets. BU 70, GU 67.
End of game: Kevin Rogers put on a dunk show in this one, a combination of alley oops and driving dunks that will stay in my memory for a long time to come. College Basketball is a 40 minute game for a reason. Baylor hung around just long enough to take the lead late in the game, winning in an impressive fashion. BU 74, GU 72.
