Jacqui Zelenka scored the first basket of the game to give SBU a 2-0 lead, but Northeastern State went on a 10-0 run and never trailed again.

The RiverHawks led 28-14 at the half, and they were able to build a 24-point advantage at 45-21 with 11:45 to play. Southwest Baptist fought all the way back to within 11 points at one point, but NSU would not allow the home side to get any closer.

What do you think of Sen. McCain's proposal to allow cable TV channels to be sold a la carte (individually, rather than in bundles with a lot of channels no one wants)? Bear in mind some less popular channels could go by the wayside with no bundling support, and that while overall packages should theoretically decrease in cost, individual channels might cost more.

Strongly in favor of a la carte.
Somewhat in favor of a la carte.
Somewhat opposed to a la carte.
Strongly opposed to a la carte.
