The Railroaders suffered a tough loss at home tonight against a very good Bluffton Tiger team. The final score was 52-46. This team is getting better in leaps and bounds. On Tuesday we got a very slow start and had to come back against a good New Haven team. Tonight we proved that we could learn from our mistakes and came out playing hard from the opening tip. Bluffton definitely out-scored us, but they didn't out-play us.
We out rebounded them 26-23 (8-1 on offensive rebounds). We had more blocks and steals (8-6), fewer turnovers (8-11), and we had 12 assists to their 9. I have to say we out hustled the Tigers on both ends of the court. But we just didn't knock down the shots when we needed them. We were on 1-6 at the Free Throw Line. They were 8-9. We shot 28% from the three point line, they shot 50%. We were 20 of 48 from the field. They were 19 of 37. We played a good game against a good team and a storied program. We are young but are playing harder. We are getting better. Keep rolling Big Train! Take these next few weeks to prepare for Sectionals. We can achieve that goal!
