NEW ORLEANS â Two big runs cost the Northwestern State menâs basketball team Wednesday night.
New Orleans opened the second half of a scoring binge and used another midway through the second half and grabbed a 92-83 victory against the Demons in Southland Conference action inside Lakefront Arena.
âWe played really well in the first half,â 22nd-year head coach Mike McConathy said. âWe felt pretty good, but there is nothing less important than the score at halftime. We just didnât play. They were tougher than us.
The Demons (9-17, 8-7) surrendered a 12-point first-half lead by allowing the Privateers (8-14, 7-7) to shoot 57.9 percent from the field in the second half.
