The Warriors could ill afford another loss if they had any hopes of advancing to the postseason after a one-year absence.

A desperation shot at the buzzer that bounced off the rim was all that kept the East Central Community College Warriors from handing the No. 9 ranked Pearl River Wildcats their first defeat of the season in basketball action Monday, Feb. 4.
