Northern Kentucky got beat last night in the Championship Game of the Great Lakes Region in the Division-II Sweet 16. It was by far NKU's worse shooting night of the season. The Norse shot 14-63 for the game, which is a dismal 22.2%. They were just 6-32 from 3-Point range, which is just 18.8%. Steven Wright, a senior transfer from Bowling Green State, has led NKU all season in scoring with a 17.1 average, but was held to just 9 points. Anthony Teague, a transfer from New Mexico, led NKU in scoring with 12 points. The Lakers jumped out to a 10-2 lead, but NKU countered with a 16-4 run. However, at halftime, the Norse were down 6, 28-22. NKU also got out rebounded 35-49. They had just 12 offensive rebounds, while GVSU pulled down 39 defensive boards. Overall it wasn't a good game for the Norse. They finished with a 24-9 record, and a Great Lakes Valley Conference East Division Championship. Not a bad season, but not a good way to go out.
