Hot second-half effort comes up short for (8) Southern Arkansas against (1) Southeastern Oklahoma

SHAWNEE, Okla. – You wrote 'em off. You did. It's okay to admit it. Most in attendance for game one of session two in the opening round of Great American Conference Tournament action on Thursday evening from inside FireLake Arena felt it was just a matter of time before top seeded Southeastern Oklahoma advanced to Saturday's semifinal after leading eight seed Southern Arkansas by 14 at the break and building that advantage to as much as 23 points nearly six minutes in post-intermission.
