[NU Sports] Double possession

[Dennis W. Brandt]

No, Northwestern did not get possession in the first half.  Minnesota got the tip.  Is the rule not whoever gets the opening tip the other team gets possession in the second half?  If it goes by the possession arrow, I didn't know that.

  There was a jump ball in the first half, and Northwestern got possession because the possession arrow favored NU.  That's why Minnesota got the ball to start the second half.

Minnesota got the opening tip, which means Northwestern should have started the second half with possession. But Minnesota opened the second half with possession. I didn't see anyone complaining, but something was amiss.
