Basketball Game Preview: Nitro Wildcats vs. Hurricane Redskins

The Nitro Wildcats will hit the road for the first time this season to challenge the Hurricane Redskins at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.

Nitro is headed out to face Hurricane after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. The Wildcats blew past Poca, posting an 84-27 win. The Wildcats have beaten the Dots the last five times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Dots has come to flipping the script.

Meanwhile, Hurricane earned a 71-61 victory over Calvary Baptist Academy on Friday.

Nitro skirted past Hurricane 58-55 in their previous meeting back in April of 2021. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wildcats since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
