STOCKTON — The Delta Mustangs learned a clear lesson the first time they played Cañada College.

If you are going to have a chance to beat the Colts, you have to protect the basketball.

The Mustangs admit they were sloppy in a mistake-prone loss in November, and plan to clean things up and aim for an upset in the rematch when they visit No. 5 Cañada at 7 p.m. today in the first round of the Northern California Regional playoffs in Redwood City. No. 12 Delta (16-11) is one of seven teams to qualify for the playoffs from the powerful Big 8 Conference.
