Basketball Game Preview: Glenn Falcons vs. Bremen Lions

The Glenn Falcons will head out on the road to take on the Bremen Lions at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Last Tuesday, Glenn ended up a good deal behind NorthWood and lost 41-24. The game marked the Falcons' lowest-scoring match so far this season.

Glenn's loss came about despite a quality game from Addison Reese, who posted nine points. Reese has been hot recently, having also posted two or more steals the last four times she's played.

Meanwhile, Bremen had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 41.3 points) and they went ahead and made it four on Tuesday. They took down the Cougars 62-48. 62 seems to be a good number for the Lions as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of points in their previous game.

Glenn better keep an eye on Eliana Grubbs. She was instrumental in Bremen's win, almost dropping a double-double on 26 points and nine rebounds. That's the most points Grubbs has posted since back in November of 2023. The team also got some help courtesy of Kila Foster, who had 16 points and three steals.

Glenn's defeat dropped their record down to 12-5. As for Bremen, their victory bumped their record up to 13-2.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Glenn has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 23.6 boards per game. However, it's not like Bremen struggles in that department as they've been averaging 30.2 rebounds. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.

Glenn ended up a good deal behind Bremen in their previous matchup back in January of 2024, losing 53-35. Can Glenn avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
