Truman's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-5. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 72.7 points per game. As for Ruskin, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-6.

Truman will be playing in front of their home fans against Raytown at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Truman knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past five games -- so hopefully Raytown likes a good challenge. Ruskin has already played their next contest (against Grandview), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
