The 8 points at half are NOT the MBB record

Rice vs. South Florida: November 30, 1997

USF and Rice played a first half to forget at the San Juan Shootout in November 1997. The Bulls and Owls scored eight points — combined (!) — in the opening 20 minutes of play, which represents the NCAA (post-1986) record for fewest points in a half between two teams. USF led 6-2 at the break, but both teams got the lids off of their baskets in the second half: The Bulls prevailed 49-46.

Wasn't there an smu game under Robodoh where we scored like 25 points or something?

how many minutes did they go scoreless-it seemed like for 12-14 minutes they were stuck on 6 points. I would think that is an SMU record if that's even kept

Does anyone know what the SMU MBB record is for points allowed in a half? I saw it alluded to on Twitter last night that this might have been the record for fewest points allowed in a half.

Brutal night in Dallas. The game seemed to last forever. We had 12 points at the half and for the game shot 17.4% (8-46) and 10.3 from 3 (3-29).

To remind everybody how bad things were back then, we were ranked 240th in the country in 3 point shooting but yet we were ranked the second highest 3 point shooting team in the country at over 46% of our shots were from beyond the arc. As the one article mentioned, as a team, we only had 7 turnovers that night!

The 8 points in the 1st half was an AAC record.

since the AAC only has a Modern Era I'm not surprised-I thinking back in the days of set shots, knee pads and Perkins Natatorium serving as a Basketball Arena Days like when mrydel was a Freshman. Some of those games finished in the Teens

But numbers only went up to 10 in those days.

Glad the "modern era" has been mentioned. Specifically the shot clock made a difference: no stall including the four corners. Back in the fifties one night we beat the stalling Frogs in FW something like 26 - 22. I'm sure there were more than eight points at the half though.

Contrary to what those who want a lot of scoring say that was not a boring game.

I remember that game. Opposing players just sat on the court and rolled the ball back and forth with SMU players (who were so much better!) standing around watching them.

Not surprised to learn you were there. Lots of yelling where I was sitting.
