Basketball Recap: University Lab Takes Down Booker T. Washington-Shreveport in a Playoff Battle

Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only University Lab walked away with it. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Booker T. Washington-Shreveport Lions on Friday, sneaking past 50-48. Given the Cubs' advantage in MaxPreps' Louisiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 39th, while the Lions are ranked 147th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

University Lab has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-10 record this season. This is the second loss in a row for Booker T. Washington-Shreveport and nudges their season record down to 21-18.

Looking ahead, University Lab will take on Lake Charles College Prep at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Lake Charles College Prep will roll in looking for their 12th straight win, something University Lab surely won't give up without a fight. Booker T. Washington-Shreveport does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
