The Gators have been playing pretty good basketball as of late I would say although I'm sure Wisner-Pilger would of liked to have beaten West Point-Beemer.
The Gators (8-3) take on Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family (7-4) on the road Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs lost 49-47 in overtime at Riverside Friday night.
Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family is led by the likes of Ashton Dohmen and Bret Hanis.
The Bulldogs had a 6-game winning streak snapped by Randolph last Saturday, and have now dropped two in a row.
Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family isn't a bad team, but the Bulldogs have struggled against teams with winning records.
I look for Wisner-Pilger to go in there, and pick up a big win Tuesday night.
I think the Gators will be upset and motivated by the fact they lost to the Cadets Friday night.
West Point-Beemer is a better team than Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family I would say so Wisner-Pilger should be able to beat the Bulldogs one would think.
The Gators need big games from Keegan Ruskamp, Jayden Raabe, Gunner Labenz, Hunter Waterman, and others.
Wisner-Pilger's offense has to be better and more efficient than it was against West Point-Beemer.
The Gators have to play a better 1st half on Tuesday than they did on Friday.
Wisner-Pilger played a strong second half against the Cadets, but getting down by 12 at halftime ultimately proved to be too much for the Gators to come back from.
Wisner-Pilger has a big week next week with games against Howells-Dodge and Logan View/Scribner-Snyder later in the week so the Gators have to be ready to rock and roll every night.
Wisner-Pilger should be disappointed by the fact they lost to a rival in West Point-Beemer, but not let it get them down too much and be able to regroup Tuesday night.
I look for the Gators to respond in a big way Tuesday night.
I think fans will see a very hungry and determined Wisner-Pilger squad take the floor.
I look the Gators to win by 10-15 at least, maybe more.
The Wisner-Pilger Girls Basketball Team is 2-4 in their last six contests, falling 51-39 at Stanton on Thursday, December 21st, beating Neligh-Oakdale 69-24 in the 1st round of the Shootout on the Elkhorn at Wisner last Thursday, losing 52-42 to Battle Creek in the semifinals last Friday, and falling 63-33 to Pierce in the 3rd place game last Saturday, before winning 55-35 at home over Madison Thursday night, and losing 67-30 at West Point-Beemer Friday night.

Wisner-Pilger has been kind of up and down recently you could say. The Gators play well at times, but get blown out at others.
Wisner-Pilger (4-8) takes on Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family (10-2) on the road Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs are coming off a 48-35 win at Riverside Friday night.
I think this game is going to be closer than it appears it would be on paper.
Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family hasn't been as strong in their last two games as they were before those contests, in my opinion.
It should be an interesting game.
I think the Gators will come out and play inspired and better than they did against the Cadets Friday night.
Whether Wisner-Pilger's efforts yield them a win remains to be seen, but I fully expect the Gators to hold their own Tuesday night.
It's a busy week for Wisner-Pilger with Howells-Dodge on Friday and Logan View/Scribner-Snyder on Saturday.
I think the Gators have a chance to be very competitive next week, and should at least be able to keep things close each night.
I must say I was surprised by the manner in which West Point-Beemer beat Wisner-Pilger.
I thought the game would be a lot closer being a rivalry game, but I was wrong.
It's something that should motivate and make the Gators flat out upset.
Wisner-Pilger has to do something about it with their play in the future.
The result of the game can never be changed, but the Gators can control their play this coming week and after.
It will be interesting to see how well Wisner-Pilger responds to adversity.
The Gators were punched in the mouth Friday night. Now how do they respond? That will be interesting to see and remains to be seen.
