The first play-in (sorry "first Four") game turned out to be pretty good. That and what you can see in the NIT shows just how much BBall talent is out there.
But the play-in game didn't start out looking good. Fairleigh Dickinson was flat, while Prairie View built a 7-point lead at half by shooting lights out on treys. (And, honestly, it didn't seem like it should be that close.) In the second half, they extended that lead to 12-13, again hitting their threes. But then the FDU guards -- a guy named Jenkins, in particular -- put the team on their backs. They took over the lead and built it to 9 ... and FDU ended up winning by 6. All-and-all, a very entertaining show.
