It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Kolbe-Cathedral can now relate to. They took an 80-71 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Staples Wreckers on Tuesday. While losing is never fun, the Cougars can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Connecticut basketball rankings (they are ranked 62nd, while the Wreckers are ranked seventh).
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Staples to victory, but perhaps none more so than Dhilan Lowman, who shot 67% from beyond the arc en route to 24 points and five rebounds. Those 24 points gave Lowman a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Adam Udell, who dropped a double-double with 19 points and 11 assists.
Kolbe-Cathedral dropped their record down to 11-11 with the loss, which was their sixth straight on the road. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 63.0 points over those games. As for Staples, they are on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-3 record this season.
As of now, neither Kolbe-Cathedral nor Staples have any future games scheduled.
