The Northwestern State men’s basketball team was where it wanted to be again against a power-conference team Monday night.
Facing their second high-major opponent in the past four days, the Demons led Oklahoma of the Southeastern Conference with less than 14 minutes to play in the second half before the Sooners found a late groove and pulled away for a 73-57 victory inside the Lloyd Noble Center.
