We need to get the first half scores for NCAAB. This may mean lots of more requests to ESPN. We need to test this on my local server to make sure that we do not get blocked because of it.

It actually may not be that many more, now that I think of it as long as we are smart about it. We should only have to go to the next page for maybe 3 hours after the final score is set to make sure that they do not change it.

We hit the NCAAB for all scores once. Then we hit each individual NCAAB game page once once it is finished. And only do it say once every 15 minutes for the next 3 hours after the game finishes, just in case they change the score. Likely the half score will be correct as soon as the game is marked as final.
