Hofstra up 7 at the half

        It seemed like the Pride was on its way to a blowout, building a 43-29 lead over Georgia State with 1:54 left in the half. But Hofstra got sloppy after that, the visitor got aggressive--including an uncontested fast break basket in the final second to make it 43-36 at halftime.

       Cornelius Vines has 15 points. all on three's. Charles Jenkins has 14.

         Intense Special Olympics game going on during the break. Crowd is really into it. One player hit a long shot and celebrated his huge cheer with a fist pump. Another player invited louder cheers after he nailed a jumper.
