The Granger Lancers's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Thursday after their fifth straight loss. They took a 78-68 hit to the loss column at the hands of Hunter. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Granger in their matchups with Hunter: they've now lost eight in a row.
When it comes to explaining why Granger lost, one person who can't be blamed is Daudi Aweyso. Despite the final result, he almost dropped a double-double on 40 points and nine rebounds. That was a full 58.8% of Granger's points, marking the sixth time in a row he's earned more than a third of the team's points. Stephen Kpaleh was another key contributor, scoring 14 points.
Granger dropped their record down to 3-18 with that loss, which was their 21st straight at home dating back to last season. That rough patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 50.2 points per game. As for Hunter, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 9-13.
Granger does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Hunter, they will head out on the road to challenge West Jordan at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Hunter knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past eight matchups -- so hopefully West Jordan likes a good challenge.
