On a night when McNeese said goodbye to its seniors, the Cowboys were welcomed back into the Southland Conference title race. The Cowboys kept their hopes of a third straight regular-season championship alive with a gritty 75-68 victory over Texas Rio-Grande Valley Monday night in Townsley Law Arena. McNeese’s win, coupled with Stephen F. Austin’s 77-73 loss to New Orleans, moves the Cowboys to within a game of the Lumberjacks with two remained.
“I’m not too concerned about that,” said senior DJ Richards, who has been on the past two title clubs. “No one came here to win the regular season. We want to win it, but the main goal is to win the Southland tournament and get to the NCAA.” The Cowboys are 24-5, 17-3 after claiming their 27th straight home win overall and 33rd in a row against the Southland. McNeese is 47-1 on Joe Dumars Court the last three years. “For us to stay undefeated for the year at home, that’s special,” said McNeese head coach Bill Armstrong.
