There's more to a basketball game than action on the court. Monty Siekerman photographed some of the important unsung heros of ONU sports during Saturday night's game. Here's what he saw:
• Mike Miller has been the announcer for women's basketball at ONU for five years, an announcer as good as you've ever heard, even at major sporting events across the country.

"I'm really proud of my team and how we fought tonight," said head coach Michele Durand. "We fought to the end and didn't give up. We had a great season and these girls have nothing to be ashamed of."
