Spartans have struggled to a record of 4-17 this season, after dropping a heart wrenching loss to cross town rival, Baptist Bible College on Tuesday evening. CBC lost 91-90 on a last second put back after BBC had missed a three pointer. The Spartans out rebounded the Patriots, 48-30 , out shot them from the free throw line (32-45) while BBC was 10-13 and we still lost the game. One could say that is how this season has gone for the very young and inexperienced Spartans. CBC had seven healthy players for that game as Terence Culler is out with a stress fracture of his left shin and Charles Staten broke his hand against Grace University. Coach Hanson stated, "It has been a struggle this season but the guys continue to play hard and have not quit. In the first half, we were down by 21 points against BBC but came back and had a five point lead with less than a minute to play in that game. Our inability to play defense and take care of the ball down the stretch really hurt us but we had players in the game that had never been in that position before. I think we will improve once we get completely healthy but not sure when that will be. No matter what, the games are scheduled and we need to play them so we will not quit."
