GC leads 26-25 at the half.

Sloppy basketball from both sides so far and a very low scoring game. McClung with 2 early fouls which will limit the way he's able to play. I think Lee's height will give GC problems for the rest of the game... Especially if it's close in the final minutes.

Should be a good finish between these two.
