Among games covered by MOARK Sports on Tuesday included the Branson Pirate rescheduled Courtwarming game.

The ceremonies, originally scheduled for last Friday but postponed due to the snow storm that swept the region, took place Tuesday night as part of the Pirates stayed with the heavily favored Eagles for nearly three quarter before the visitors pulled away for a 77-52 win. 

Although the Eagles had built a 13 point lead at half, the Pirates came back and closed the gap to six midway through the third quarter. After a Nixa timeout, the Eagles defense stymied the Branson the rest of the way outscoring the Pirates 32-13 to close out the game.
