DENVER, Colo. - The stars of the respective teams in this game are not off to a scintillating start. Raymar Morgan posted up for the first basket of the game, but walked in transition, giving away a dunk. Neitzel has missed his first two threes also.

For Temple, Christmas has taken one shot and it was forced. Tyndale hasn't put it up yet, but Temple leads 7-6.

MSU has three unforced turnovers, a trend that must stop.

The arena is maybe half full, and the crowd isn't really into it yet.
