The Hoopstars travel to Michigan for a tournament. They get off to a terrible start in their first game, trailing 18-2 at one point. They come back to take the lead with a minute remaining, but wind up losing. They lose the second game of the day on a three-pointer at the buzzer, and also drop a third contest. Coach Douglas remains positive after the first loss, but gradually grows more disappointed with their effort. Many of the girls admit to being distracted. A frustrated Maria avoids her teammates at the hotel that night because it doesn't seem they are taking the losses very seriously. The Hoopstars win their final game of the tournament, but still worry about how they will fare at State.
