Day 11 of March: The Demon Comeback

Straight outta Natchitoches, Louisiana, the Northwestern St Demons met up with Iowa, and for about 32 minutes looked exactly like what you'd expect from a 14 seed representing the Southland Conference. Suddenly, with 8 minutes left, down by 17, Northwestern St launched a massive comeback led by Ben Wallace look alike Clifton Lee  and cut the lead to two with just ten seconds left. Of course a team like this will always go for the win, and while the first three was off, Jermaine Wallace grabbed the offensive board, turned around, and fired while falling down out of bounds, yet still swished it. The Demons were so pumped that they immediately started celebrating and forgot to play defense and gave up a semi open look for the win. Fortunately, Adam Haluska just missed, and Northwestern St was off to the second round. This capped off a thrilling comeback, and will perhaps go down as the greatest shot in history to not receive an "Onions!" but for the Demons it will probably remain the greatest moment in school history.
