Back on their home court and looking to even the season series, the Cards (0-17, 0-11 Big Rivers Conference) found themselves in a hole early, but pulled back to within one of the Warriors (11-6, 6-5 BRC), who responded with an extended run to take a 19-point lead at the break.
After halftime, Chi-Hi ratcheted up the defensive pressure while playing much cleaner offensively, only committing four turnovers while outscoring Rice Lake 30-28 in the second half. The Warriors halftime advantage was too much to overcome, however, as they won the game and the season series.
Freshman guard Kobe Twyman nailed four triples as he poured in a team-high 16 points, while sophomore guard Kael Dillenbeck notched six in each half to finish with 12. Fellow sophomore Owen Munson hit a trio of threes and added nine points on the night.
