not an individual player’s note-but MSU’s 41 first half points were the most by any opponent since UNC had 43 and this was the only other game this year an opponent scored more than 40 in the first half.
Only 4 teams have scored more than 40 in the second half against the Cats- Indiana, Vandy, SCarolina and AK (the latter 2 after the game was out of reach).
