Winnebago has continued their amazing run this season. The Indians continue to play great basketball, there's nothing much else to say.
Winnebago (20-0) squares off with Creighton (13-5) Friday night in Bloomfield in the quarterfinals of the Lewis and Clark Conference Tournament.
The Bulldogs downed Bloomfield 63-34 in the first round of the tournament on Saturday.
Creighton has played good basketball lately as they have won five in a row.
The Bulldogs are certainly a team that can upset anyone they play.
Creighton has only lost to good teams this season, but this is probably the Bulldogs' toughest test of the season so far.
I don't think Creighton has seen a team like the Indians. There aren't many teams as good as Winnebago in Northeast Nebraska.
The Indians have to be focused, determined, and ready to play a great game. Winnebago has to play with the same focus and intensity they've played with all year.
The Indians have to respect the Bulldogs, and cannot take Creighton lightly.
Winnebago has to understand that they will get the Bulldogs' best shot so the Indians have to be on top of their game.
Every game in this tournament gets tougher with every win so Winnebago has to bring it even more than they did against Homer.
Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m. in Bloomfield.
