The Center Cougars's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their fourth straight defeat. They took a 61-48 hit to the loss column at the hands of Sutter.

As a matter of fact, that's the most points Blake has scored all season. Another player making a difference was Miessah Sagun, who almost dropped a double-double on 12 points and nine rebounds.
It was another big night for Torrence Harter, who dropped a triple-double on 13 points, 14 rebounds, and ten steals for Sutter.
