I like the two halves better. If the game gets a good flow going that break between the 1st and 2nd quarter is a real drag. I've noticed the difference when working the Big Time tournament in the summers in Vegas. They play two 16 minute halves. The coaches rarely call a time-out in the first half near the eight minute mark.
Of course, I hate the media time-outs in the NCAA game for the same reason. They just break the rhythm of the contest.
