Basketball Game Preview: Dunbar Wolverines vs. Northridge Polar Bears

Dunbar is on a five-game streak of home wins, while Northridge is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Dunbar Wolverines will take on the Northridge Polar Bears in a tournament on Wednesday. Dunbar knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past seven matches -- so hopefully Northridge likes a good challenge.

Dunbar picked up another tournament win on Friday. They put the hurt on Eaton with a sharp 68-43 win. The victory continues a trend for the Wolverines in their matchups with the Eagles: they've now won four in a row.

Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Northridge against Northwestern on Friday as the team secured a 75-34 win. The Polar Bears have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 13 games by 20 points or more this season.

Dunbar better keep an eye on Ja'Ydann Martin. He was instrumental in Northridge's win, going 17-for-22 en route to 31 points and five assists. The team also got some help courtesy of Keonte Smith, who went 8-for-12 on his way to 15 points along with seven rebounds and four blocks.

Northridge is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 68.8 points over those games. Dunbar's victory bumped their record up to 14-9.
