The Bishop Badgers's road trip will continue as they head out to face the Miller Buccaneers at 7:00 p.m. on December 5th. Hopefully Bishop focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 18 on Saturday.

Last Saturday, Bishop didn't have too much trouble with Cigarroa on the road as they won 59-44. Given Bishop's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 38th, while Cigarroa is ranked 1237th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Donny Thomas was his usual excellent self, scoring 29 points along with 7 rebounds and 3 steals. The game was his third in a row with at least ten points. Another player making a difference was James Garcia, who dropped a double-double on 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Miller can finally bid farewell to their four-game losing streak thanks to their game on Saturday. They walked away with a 50-40 victory over Santa Maria.

The losses dropped Bishop to 6-4 and Cigarroa to 0-9.
