The Huskies (3-13, 2-6 SLC) and Cardinals (4-14, 2-7 SLC) met in Beaumont on Jan. 9 with the Cardinals taking an eight-point first half lead before HBU tied things up at the half, 30-30. HBU then jumped out to a nine-point advantage early in the second half and led by seven with eight minutes to go. A six-minute scoreless stretch doomed the Huskies, however, as the Cardinals reeled off 13-straight points and took home a 71-65 win over the Huskies.
