Momentum in Sports - College Basketball

There is a new academic paper being circulated positing that a college basketball team is more likely to win a game if they trail by one (1) point at halftime. The New York Times write-up (by the authors) about the article is here.  The paper itself is here.  A tennis-specific paper with the opposite finding can be found here.  I have yet to read either paper, but look forward to it.
