Yes, it is just the fifth game in a 16-game conference season.
Yes, it will only count as one win, or one loss.
No, it isn't too early to get excited about a showdown for first place.
Wednesday night, surrounded by the piney woods of East Texas, Northwestern will battle old rival Stephen F. Austin. The winner will walk off the court in first place in the SLC's Eastern Division.
If NSU wins, the Lady Demons will take a ton of confidence into the rest of their schedule. If NSU comes up short, it won't be the end of the world. There will still be plenty of time to catch up with the LadyJacks. Remember, these two teams will meet again in Nathcitoches February 10th.
But there is something about the excitement of playing for first place. If you can't make the trip to Nacogdoches, I hope you will tune in to the Demon Sports Network, including 100.7 KZBL in Natchitoches, 92.1 KSYR in Shreveport, and here at nsudemons.com. I look forward to--along with Matt Bonnette--calling the action for you.
And please excuse me if I sound excited. After all, it's one game--for first place!
