Bendigo Braves back at home to host Hawks for Saturday NBL1 matches

On the back of a double-header in Tasmania last weekend, the Braves will be in action at Red Energy Arena for clashes with the Ringwood Hawks.

After finishing up the trip to Tasmania with a mixed 1-1 record, Braves coach Stephen Black said his squad had plenty to learn from.

The Braves led 70-68 with 1:55 to play before Hobart scored nine points from the free throw line in the final two minutes.

"It was one that got away," coach Black said earlier in the week

"We put ourselves in a position to win and we probably could've done it.
