Just got up to press row from the court. This is easily the biggest crowd of the season and bigger than any crowd last season! The cell signal down on the court is really bad! Grantham just hit a 3 to put the Tigers ahead 27-25! About 4 mins left in the half. |

We're tied at 44 after a couple Miami free throws. They just got an offensive rebound and have the ball. Looking like this one will go down to the wire. |

Donnal with a swat! Miami ball out of bounds, though. This has been a real long possession. |
