Lady Demons started strong...then SFA amped up their defense and started hitting threes and it was all downhill after that.
Really hard to figure out this team...

We had our chances down the stretch but couldn't make the shots while stupid SFA made a couple clutch threes...
Lady Demons drop #3 in a row...middle of the pack now after leading the SLC amongst teams we've already beaten (nicholls and CC).

Sick stomach leaving Prather that night....there are two teams I hate to lose to, in our conference, above all others: SFA and the McNuggets.

Big game tonight...the Demons are gonna have to play their best all season to beat the Jacks at home. I have a feeling rebounding is going to be the deciding factor...SFA is REALLY good about not letting you get any second chances on a miss. When the Jacks are on offense and someone takes a shot they assume it's not going in (rather than assuming every shot is going in) and will have 3 or more players crashing the boards to get the offensive rebound.
They will probably have the SLC POY in Thomas Walkup...dude does it all...can shoot the jump shot, can shoot the 3, is big enough to score inside, plays good defense and grabs rebounds. Then that also leaves last year's SLC POY Jared Parker...he can also hit the three effectively.

Demons score 85+ and they win…Problem is that SFA has been the one team in the conference that has held us way below our season average. Its going to take a herculean rebounding effort with Marvin Frazier out.

Great game so far...We'd be up by 10 if it weren't for #10 Clayton for SFA who burned us in games last year. Gotta get more paint points but we're getting hammered under the basket which favors SFA.

Just can't get the shots to fall here at the end...

Rebounding is the story in the 2nd half...

Missed some shots down the stretch which really hurt. SFA killed us on the glass the second half which was ultimately the difference.
I liked the way we played and I believe we can definitely knock them out in Katy if we get the chance.

We were trying to beat the best team in the conference, by far, without our best big guy, Marvin Frazier? We're lucky to have made a game of it. This was quite an effort from our guards, but you can't beat SFA with little to no inside presence. If our guards and Frazier had a Dequan Hicks, Clifton Lee, James Hulbin, Trey Gilder or Jermaine Spencer playing, we'd be unstoppable. Especially with Deji and King to back them up. Such a shame to have a West and Woodley with no down low help. We'll lament that fact for years to come. Still, an unbelievable performance by West, Woodley, Thompson, Dobbinson, Welcome and Hall. SFA might be beatable, but no one in the Southland is going to do it. They're too disciplined and fundamentally sound. Besides, let's be honest, SFA manhandled us after we jumped on them 10-3 by a score of 90-72. That's not even close.

The extra crappy part is that now we're 7-4 in SLC...we shouldn't be 7-4...we should be 9-2. I'll concede the Sam game, although I think we've gotten MUCH better offensively since that 1st game. Losing to Corpus and especially ACU hurts. We don't have much room for error the rest of the way...especially with a return trip to SFA at the end of the season.

The conference was dominated by NSU, SLU and Sam for years. Before that it was Lamar. McNeese, TAMU-CC and Nicholls even had their moments. Right now, it is SFA's turn to shine. They are kings of the SLC palace and have accomplished as much as we have in the NCAA toruney by knocking off a higher ranked seed to make it to the round of 32. Let's respect them for that effort. The worm will turn again, though. What I like is we're always in the upper 1/3, save a bad year every 8-10 years.

Jacks lose to Corpus...glad to see their streak end. Sick of hearing about it...we could've ended it but didn't make the shots down the stretch or rebound. We were lucky to escape McNeese with a W today...it appears we didn't learn our lesson about rebidding yet. I didn't get to listen but there was a big free throw disparity and the Cowboys cleaned house on the boards which is what kept the game so close.

Just go play loose and have fun. I'd rather beat them in Katy and beating them twice will be very, very hard.
