Dodge City struggled to get its offense going in Tuesday's contest as the Warrior defense stifled the opposition. Indian Hills held the Conquistadors to just 31.5 percent from the floor and 18.5 percent (5-27) from three-point range. The Warriors forced at least 20 turnovers in a game for the third time this season. On the offensive side, the Warriors committed just seven turnovers en route to a 35-4 points-off-turnovers advantage.
