Northwestern

The stage is set! The McNeese Cowboys will take on the Lamar Cardinals on Tuesday inside of the Legacy Center for the semifinals of the Southland Conference Tournament. Check it out here.

Northwestern must hate to play the McNeese State Cowboys. The Pokes put together a 35 point first half last night and held on to beat the Demons for the 10th straight time.

The #9 ranked Cowboys (8-2) are looking for two wins to seal a playoff spot. They'll get a chance at the first one Saturday at Cowboy Stadium against Northwestern (5-5).

Most people are playing it off as just a one time, mistake filled, injury riddled loss for McNeese. That is optimistic and a hard sell at this point. The 25-24 loss to Southeastern last night was a definite upset and hopefully not a sign of future problems.
