The perfect regular season was never in doubt after Drury University broke to a 45-18 lead at halftime on Saturday afternoon.
But, what sometimes is in doubt coming into tournament time is the health of players.
They get banged up and bruised playing against teams that are fighting to end their seasons on a high note.
In that realm, the last two victories in the record-setting 28-0 run were rough on the Lady Panthers. Two of the team’s stars visited with trainers at the end of the bench after taking hard falls while battling aggressive defenders.
