NATCHITOCHES â Down the stretch Wednesday night, the largest and smallest of the Northwestern State menâs basketball team stood tallest.
A three-point play from 6-foot-7, 300-pound Larry Owens put the Demons ahead to stay while 5-6 guard Brian White kept things that way with clutch free throws in the closing minutes of an 81-73 Southland Conference victory against New Orleans in Prather Coliseum.
âThis game was such a critical game because it allowed us to move to 3-4 (in conference play),â 22nd-year head coach Mike McConathy said. âIf you donât beat coach (Mark) Slessingerâs team from New Orleans, who is so physically tough and competitive and gives it everything they have â if you donât beat them, youâre 2-5 and youâre going on the road (Saturday). It was such an important swing game for us to get in order for us to get to the middle of the pack.â
