So...Those who thought NSU would be one-and-done in the 2010 State Farm Southland Conference Tournament...I direct your attention to the above headline.
Wow!
In one word, that sums up the way the Lady Demons played Tuesday afternoon at the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas.
NSU, the tournament's seventh-seed, looked like the the Los Angeles Lakers during their "Showtime" era--passing and shooting their way to a 96-82 win over second-seeded Stephen F. Austin.
Trudy Armstead--still technically a freshman--looked like a seasoned veteran. She wanted the ball and she got the ball on her way to a season/career-high 25 points and 13 rebounds. Jessica McPhail, who hasn't had the quite the season she had hoped, shinned with a season-high 22 points. Three more Lady Demons tallied double-digits, and afterwards, everyone was wearing smiles.
Next up, dinner at Dave and Busters. Oh, next up on the court? Texas A&M Corpus-Christi, which beat Sam Houston in Tuesday's second game.
So it's time to unpack the luggage. We are going to be here at least until Thursday. And the way NSU played Tuesday, we might not be going home until after Friday's championship game.
And no one is complaining.
