Senior forward Clifton Lee led the Demons with 12 points, which is typical for a team that has eight players averaging at least five points per game.
The Demons will face No. 2 Sam Houston State in the championship game Sunday after the Bearkats beat No. 4 Stephen F. Austin 78-72. Sam Houston State split the regular-season games against Northwestern State, with each team winning at home. The Bearkats must travel to Northwestern State, which will host the championship game.
