[NKYknowitall]

30-19 on a 3 by Garnett... Norse looking good so far

[ggclfan]

42-27 NKU at half. McDonald with 17 and 3 treys...

McDonald feeling it from three point land

[ggclfan]

So if NKU holds on, they will be favored in the championship game. Valpo is out so #4 seed NKU would be playing either the #6 or #10 seed in the finals. Great opportunity for the Norse...
