Third-quarter rut costs Hornets in Helias loss

After week off, Fulton will play three games in three days

The Fulton Hornets' basketball season is 14 games in and, for the most part, the campaign has read like an open book. There's no subtext to the Hornets' successes or failures, according to head coach Marques Baldwin.

"It's easy to see why we win and why we lose," Baldwin said. "Either we have a whole lot of turnovers or we have a lull where we don't execute the way we should.

"And those are things we know we have to do."

The Hornets were hit with both of those Friday night in a 49-38 home loss to the Helias Crusaders at Roger D. Davis Gymnasium.
