The way it ought to be

NSU-McNeese is a great rivalry. In any sport.

In men's basketball, it's the ideal rivalry - even down to after the game ends.

It's been a tradition since McNeese head coach Dave Simmons left the NSU Demon basketball staff to take over as the Cowboys boss, that NSU supporters cook for both teams after they play at Prather Coliseum.

Now McNeese is returning the favor. The Cowboys fed both teams a wonderful brisket dinner at Burton Coliseum after last night's Demon win. You talk about sportsmanship and building relationships, that's what we saw during and after.

That postgame hospitality is nothing new in many sports, but it's always great to see.
