LONGVIEW, TEXAS (March 1, 2018) – Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) men's basketball snuck by the University of the Southwest (USW) in the Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) Tournament Quarterfinals with a 95-88 win to advance to the Semifinals Round on Friday. The Saints tied the game at halftime 37-37 and in the second half, the men added seven more points than the Mustangs to secure the win.
Head Coach Michael Poindexter commented, "It was a great team win tonight. Southwest came ready to play, and we had to match their intensity. We did that in the second half. Southwest's zone is very tough because they are long and athletic, so we had to make adjustments on how to attack it. We did an excellent job executing down the stretch. I told my guys in post season play, it's about survive and advance and we did that. Good team win."
