I can confirm, I was in that student section! Those games were fun. NLU had a good couple of years, it was a great rivalry back in the day

By game’s end, Lee posted 18 points and 11 assists for the night, while Ingram and Perry combined for 54 points, to lead NLU to a 85-76 victory and to a spot in the Final Four. Leon Barmore, Louisiana Tech’s head coach at the time, told Lee after the game: “I’ll be the happiest person when you graduate. Expect my flowers at your graduation.”

“Kim Mulkey (a former Louisiana Tech guard who played against Ok) later became the face of women’s basketball,” Ponti added.“But she met her match when she went one-on-one with E.J."

“E.J. is the best female point guard I’ve seen,” said (Dale) Brown, who coached Shaquille O’Neal at LSU in the early ’90s. “I don’t mean to embellish this, but she’s a female Pete Maravich. They had eyes all around their head. Great players perceive things that aren’t there. They diagram plays and know it in their head, and make that pass two seconds later. She was a phenom, I tell you. She had it all.”
