Preview: Brown Bears vs. Burgin Bulldogs
The Brown Bears will head out on the road to face off against the Burgin Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 88-28, which was the final score in Brown's tilt against Male on Wednesday. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Brown has scored all season.
Meanwhile, this season hasn't been kind to Burgin, who are still winless after their eighth match. They were just a bucket shy of victory on Saturday and fell 57-56 to Columbus HomeSchool. While losing is never fun, Burgin can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps's basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 271st in Kentucky, while Columbus HomeSchool is ranked 55th in Indiana).
Brown now has a losing record at 3-4. As for Burgin, their defeat was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which bumped their record down to 0-8.
