"We knew this was going to be a tough game for us going in. I thought we really battled and made the plays that we needed to in the fourth quarter. We made some big free throws down the stretch that allowed us to escape with the win. We have to do a better job, though, of taking care of the ball and making better decisions with the ball," said Coach Kevin Scheef.
The Warriors forced 28 Fort Calhoun turnovers, but turned the ball over themselves 24 times. Wahoo shot 26 free throws to just 4 for Fort Calhoun.
