Sophomore wing Connor Raines paced the Bucs with 16 points.
With the loss, Blinn dropped to 16-14 overall and 9-10 in conference play.

“I told our guys in the locker room after the game that the loss to Angelina is behind us now,” Schumacher said. “It’s time for the region tournament and everybody is 0-0, so we’ve got to go play.”
