Tough sledding for Winnebago so far this year.
The Indians (1-4) faces Neligh-Oakdale (1-5) in the Shootout on the Elkhorn on Monday.
The Warriors lost 61-46 at Bloomfield last Friday night.
I look for Winnebago to win this one.
The Indians have to get out and run, run, run, and use this game as a springboard to a winner's bracket game on Tuesday.
I don't think Winnebago has had the type of the season so far that they were expecting to.
I look for the Indians to come out and play extremely hard and well on Monday.
I'm willing to bet Winnebago has been hooping quite a bit since last Tuesday.
I'm guessing the Indians have been chomping at the bit to get back out there and do some damage.
Winnebago has to blow Neligh-Oakdale out, and put a dent in the scoreboard.
The Indians have to play up tempo basketball and above the rim.
Winnebago has to get back to their old ways like they thought they were going to this season.
It's not how you start it's how you finish, and the Indians need to do everything they can to pick up a couple of wins in this Holiday Tournament.
Winnebago will play either Wakefield or the Norfolk High JV on Tuesday, and both of those teams figure to present challenges.
I'm thinking the Indians may play the Trojans, and that would definitely be a challenge for Winnebago.
I'm sure the Indians would be up for the challenge though, and would welcome a matchup with Wakefield.
Winnebago has to win big over the Warriors to create a lot of momentum heading into Tuesday's game.
This is a must win for the Indians. Winnebago simply cannot afford to lose.
Monday's game is scheduled to tip-off at 4:00 p.m. at Wisner-Pilger.
The Winnebago Girls won 43-41 at Adams Central on Saturday, December 14th before falling 64-59 at Oakland-Craig last Tuesday night, and 68-40 at GACC last Thursday night.

Really good play for Winnebago up until the game with the Bluejays. Not sure what happened to the Indians in that one.
Winnebago (4-2) battles Wakefield-Allen (4-1) in the Shootout on the Elkhorn at Wisner-Pilger Monday morning.
The Trojans won 56-55 at Stanton last Friday night.
This game figures to be a definite challenge for the Indians, but I feel Winnebago can definitely win.
And if Winnebago wins, guess who they would likely play on Tuesday? Most likely Ponca.
Winnebago nearly upset Ponca in Sub-Districts last year so I'm willing to bet Bago would welcome a matchup with Ponca.
Winnebago has to worry about beating Wakefield-Allen first though.
The Indians have to shake off the loss to the Bluejays, and regather and rebound.
Winnebago has had a lot of time to forget about the defeat to GACC.
The Indians have to come out and show that they've put that loss behind them.
Winnebago has to get back to playing the type of basketball they were prior to the loss to the Bluejays.
If the Indians do that I feel they have a chance to make some real noise in this tournament.
Winnebago is a much improved team, and I look for them to play well both Monday and Tuesday.
It's too bad the tournament was pushed back a couple of days due to the weather, but there's nothing anyone can do about mother nature.
The Indians just have to adapt and adjust to the schedule change just like everyone else does and has.
I look for Winnebago to play two good games next week.
The Indians need to continue to get multiple scoring contributions from multiple players.
Winnebago was at their best against Adams Central and Oakland-Craig.
The Indians have to rediscover that next week.
Tip-off is slated for 10:00 a.m. in Wisner.
