SEMO won their game. They were up by 15 at half, 17 at one point. Little Rock stormed back in the 3rd, eventually taking a 6 point lead just under 9 minutes left in the game, but SEMO came back late in the game for a 68-65 win.
#8 SEMO will play #4 Morehead State at 12:30 tomorrow afternoon.

Officials letting the play get a bit physical in the first one.  Both teams played some pretty good basketball for the most part.

So, would we rather go up against SEMO or Morehead State? 

[ST_Lawson]

Looks like it's SEMO with them coming off two hard-fought games. Hopefully they're exhausted and we can steamroll them.

On the other hand, they're on a streak of winning close games and haven't given up when down, so it will probably be a tough game.

From your mouth to God's ears. Hopefully they'll be tired instead of running on adrenaline.

The band, dance team, and cheerleaders have rolled into our hotel in Evansville. Just watching the last bit of the men's Lindenwood vs SEMO game.

Looks like Lindenwood doesn't have or didn't bring a band, so if we end up winning tomorrow and playing them on Saturday, we'll get all the opportunities to play during the game.
