If you were to leave at halftime during the mens basketball game on Tuesday, and later found out that the Cavs won 64-52 over Wesley College, you wouldn't believed it after their first half play.

"We were out of sync, we were rushing shots and we came out very slow," said guard Ty Wilson who led the Cavs with a team high 16 points.

The Cavs were so slow at the beginning of the contest that they did not score a field goal until the 16:10 mark when Tim Anderlonis made a layup inside. Anderlonis finished the game with only four points due to a injury that took place at the 1:23 mark of the first half. As of now the prognosis is a sprained ankle.

The Wolveriens did not look like superstars either. They scored only nine points in the first half and shot

Both teams committed a total of 26 turnovers in the first half. The Cavs banded the ball over 14 times with most of them coming from misdirected passes and loosing control of the ball.

After the half, the return of the old Cavs team began to show.

A 10-0 run in the beginning of the half, by the Cavs extended their lead to 26-15. It was capped off by two three pointers by Wilson.

There seem to be more life in the Cavs as they were going after the loose balls and hitting the boards with more authority.

Wilson added that at halftime they decided as unit that they had to pick the intensity up and play to their full potential.

The team extended their lead to as many as 22 when Derrick Grayson bit a turnaround at the 12:00 to make the score 37-19.

The Cavs were playing to their level and Wilson and Grayson continue to lead the way with Anderonis out.

Wesley made it a good game at the end. With 5:32 left in the contest Freeman Williams bit a three pointer to make the score 46-34. Williams finish with a game high 26 points and five three pointers. In the end the Cavs would not surrender with Wllson making a unbelievable fake on his defender and basket, that electrified the crowd and put the Cavs up for good at 53-44.

The Cavs finish the game by shooting 54 percent from the field and making a third of their three pointers.

Both Grayson and Tramaine White finished with 14 points off the bench with White adding a team-high seven rebounds as well.
