The Owls just won a pre-conference D1 game. It "sounded" like a game of runs. SE LA built an 8 point lead to start the first half, but the Owls went on a tear at the end of the first half (17-3 run in about 3 minutes) to gain the lead. The Owls never relinquished the lead, they built it up a little in the second have, then went on a bad scoring drought the resulted in the lead being dwindled down to 1 point with 50 seconds left in the game. The Owls had just enough to eek out a 72-68 victory.
SE LA could have put it away if they could have hit some key free throws down the stretch.
Happy for the win, but this became a nail biter where it should have been a comfortable win.
