The Midshipmen (3-8) trailed by five at the break but Lysander Rehnstrom's 3-pointer at the 12-minute mark pulled them even at 59-59.
Southampton 0-5 Tottenham: Premier League – as it happened
Five first-half goals give Spurs thumping win over hopeless Southampton, whose fans turned on manager Russell Martin
This has a bit of a desperate feel to it. Both managers on TNT were doing their best to mask their anxiety (at least that’s my pop psychology take). They know that the ice below their feet is getting thinner.
The players are now making their way out the tunnel. All the noise, all the pressure, all the injuries and absentees, this could be anything.
