Halftime shutout

A little confused as to how "a shutout going into the third quarter" beats "a shutout at halftime". Seems identical to me.

Fortunately I was just watching it but a couple of years ago one of the better girls varsity teams in this area won a game 75-3. This team normally always is in an agressive full-court press but after the first quarter the second string went in and it was only token (early in the season...subs needed to do it in a real game, sucks but I understand). Losing team literally could not get pass mid-court. Second half the winning team played a soft zone and did not run. The other team simply could not make a basket...except for a last second desperation three (go figure).

Good catch. I misread as "end of three."

CTB, is that what you meant?

The final was 28-4. Draw your own conclusions.

Why draw conclusions? What does that do? We all know the skill level of the teams of the games we accept.
Crews I've worked with had two of these this year so far and another real close. We still gave the teams full value and were able to work on things, given one of the crew members was still honing the basics.
