If Columbus was riding high fresh off their 66-46 takedown of Oelwein last Tuesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Columbus Sailors took a 64-59 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Denver Cyclones. The Sailors were not able to make up for their loss to the Cyclones from their previous meeting back in January.
Columbus' defeat was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-3. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.8 points per game. As for Denver, the win (which was their sixth in a row) raised their record to 7-1.
Columbus will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Cedar Valley Christian at 7:45 p.m. on January 7, 2025. After both having extra time off, Denver and Oelwein will dust off their jerseys to challenge one another at 7:45 p.m. on January 2, 2025. Denver knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past six matchups -- so hopefully Oelwein likes a good challenge.
