“I hope we can finish the regular season with a win. We’ve just gotta play hard. Every win is a good win,” said head coach CJ Nelson.
Jacari Swinea scored 18 points to lead Worthington against New Ulm, and he also had five rebounds. Kaleb Knothe added nine points and four assists.
Charlie Osborn scored 35 points for New Ulm.
The Eagles out-rebounded the Trojans and Nelson said turnovers were also problematic for his team. Worthington’s defense was not optimum.
“It was a physical game. They really got up and down on us and pushed the ball. We struggled getting back on defense,” Nelson said. “They knocked the ball down on us. We’ve got to get better. We can’t give up 88 points and win games.”
