Women's Basketball opens the season with a home game tonight (Friday, Nov 13) vs Central Methodist University from Fayette, MO.

Game time is 7PM at Western Hall.

Central Methodist is a Division I NAIA school in the Heart of America Athletic Conference. Culver-Stockton College is also a member of that conference.

Well that kinda messed with my head a bit. I go to put the kids to bed and when I come back down to check the stats of the women's game, it says it's in the 2nd period of the game...which I assumed to mean the second half and I couldn't figure out how they'd played a full half and then another 14 or so minutes in the 2nd half in the span of maybe 25 minutes.

I didn't realize they'd changed it from 2 20-minute halves to 4 10-minute quarters this season: http://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-wom ... ng-four-10

That's pretty decent for a women's home game.
