More to come. It's time to head to Target Center!

*AND the old van made it! I am in the Target Center. It's 12:49, and the pregame clock shows just under 13 minutes until it's GAME TIME!    

TIP-OFF IS COMING! Tip-off was at 13:06.

With 10:36 left, a TV timeout is called...Minneota is ahead 9 to 6. It is a very, VERY tense game! I am shaking. Someone pass me the valium!!!

With 8:20 left, Minneota has a 14-8 lead.

With 5:22 left, Minneota has built a 23-10 lead, and Coach Anderson has called a timeout.

HALFTIME: #1 Minneota 28, #4 B-B-E 18. Both teams have a pile of turnovers, but that category has hampered the Jaguars. At the break, Allisa Knight leads the Jaguars with 7 points and 5 rebounds. Josie Knutson has 4 points and 2 rebounds, and Jackie Lindsay and Karsee Kampsen each have two points.

Junior 5'10" forward Natalee Rolbiecki leads the Vikings with 10 points and 2 rebounds. Senior 5'8" guard Abby Rost has 8 points and 6 rebounds.

B-B-E has out-rebounded Minneota by a 17 to 15 margin. The shooting percentage favors Minneota: 43.5 (10-of-23) on field goals to 30.4 (7-of-23) for B-B-E from the floor. B-B-E is 4-of-7 at the line, while Minneota is 4-of-6. Hurting in the biggest way is Minneota going 4-of-9 on the arc, while B-B-E missed all five three-point shots in the first half. That's really the biggest difference in the game so far.

The second half is set to begin at approximately 13:51.

With 16:15 left in the game, Minneota is ahead 33-18.

With 11:27 left in the game, Minneota has a 40-24 lead. It's their biggest lead of the game. A media/TV timeout has been called. Minneota is now 6-of-12 on the three-point line for the game, while the Jaguars are 0-of-7.

With 82 seconds left in the game, the Vikings have a 43-38 lead. THIS HAS BECOME A VERY INTENSE GAME ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!
