With just over four minutes left in the game, the Hurons had cut the lead to 50-35. Then the Hurons went cold and the Blue Devils started to burn, scoring the last 15 points of the game. ?We played well, but the turnovers hurt us,? said coach Karl Grambau. ?I?m happy with the way we played tonight, we just have to protect the ball a little better.?
