Basketball Game Preview: Steubenville Big Red vs. Tri-Valley Scotties

Steubenville has won 13 straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Tri-Valley has won 13 straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Tuesday. The Steubenville Big Red will be taking part in a tournament against the Tri-Valley Scotties at 7:00 p.m. One thing working in Steubenville's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points every time they've taken the court this season.

Steubenville will bounce into Tuesday's match after beating New Philadelphia, who they had gone 2-7 against in their nine prior meetings. Steubenville claimed a resounding 80-46 win over New Philadelphia. The Big Red have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 15 contests by 20 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, Tri-Valley didn't have too much trouble with Dover on Friday as they won 53-37. Given the Scotties' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 65th, while the Crimson Tornadoes are ranked 259th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Tri-Valley is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 15 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-4 record this season. Steubenville's victory bumped their record up to 19-3.
