Only this time they’ll have the home court advantage.
The Lady Bandits face Ballarat on Saturday night, before welcoming Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence on Sunday.
Coach Jim Wilson admitted his side must cut down the turnovers if it is to return to winning ways.
“In the first game last weekend, we only had six turnovers until half-time, yet we had 20 for the game,” Wilson said.
“We more than doubled it in the second half.
“We went from being three down at three-quarter-time, after they hit a three on the buzzer, to going down by seven, with eight turnovers in the last quarter.
“We need to look after the ball better and get better reward for our work on the offensive end.”
Saturday’s game tips-off at 6pm, with Sunday’s clash under way at 1pm.
