It was a tale of two halves. That story was clear in J.J. Redick's performance. Redick had just 8 points in the first half, but burned the Wahoos in the second scoring 20 points.

Mrs. Bush will share the limelight with her daughters, who have chosen to wear Badgley-Mischka gowns.
The designers have dressed the likes of Halle Berry and Beyonce before dressing the Bush twins.
