 Well, the BSU basketball program has fallen on hard times recently, with the two teams combining for a 21 game losing streak. But recent performances against top teams have signaled that things could start to turn around. The men's basketball team lost last weekend by two points to MSU Moorhead and lost in double OT to St. Cloud State the week before. They've had flashes of strong play, but they say they need to be more consistent to get results. Obviously, our record is not what we want it to be. We got a lot of stuff to improve, but we also have a lot of good things to take from these games. We're losing some close ones, but we just got to learn how to play the full game as well as we can. We can't break down and have stupid mistakes. They continue to work hard, they believe, will continue to believe, and hopefully our time will come here sometime soon. And the women's team played perhaps their best game of the year last weekend as they led in the fourth quarter against Moorhead, the top team in the conference, but that performance wasn't out of the ordinary they feel and possibly a sign of things to come. It wasn't a fluke that we just played up to the level to try to beat the best team in the conference. We still made a lot of mistakes, but we battled through them. We still missed a lot of easy shots and battled through it. It wasn't an outstanding game and that we still have room to improve. So like once we get on our A game, then hopefully we will be able to play better and win some. And both teams welcome Upper Iowa to their home gym tomorrow, less skilled than the ones they played last week. So let's hope they get back on the winning track.
