The Cardinals kept the game close but faded at the end.
“We kept battling but we were clearly fatigued by the long stretch of games recently,” said coach James Coronado. “I felt we just didn’t have the energy at the end of the game to push ourselves over the top.
“We did our best to stay in it but our rotations were slow and our rebounding wasn’t there tonight.”
Isaac Veal had a big game for Bishop, scoring 27 points.
Poly had three players score 18 or more points.
“Them having 3 players scoring at least 18 is an indication our rotations were not there tonight. We have to make someone else beat us and tonight we didn’t do that.”
Bishop finished 1-2 in the tournament.
