United has gone 9-1 against Northern Cambria recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The United Lions will venture away from home to challenge the Northern Cambria Colts at 7:00 p.m. United knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 14 matchups -- so hopefully Northern Cambria likes a good challenge.

United is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering West Shamokin just ended the team's five-game winning streak on Tuesday. They were just a bucket shy of victory and fell 63-62 to the Wolves.

Meanwhile, a well-balanced attack led Northern Cambria over Purchase Line in every quarter on their way to victory on Tuesday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Northern Cambria blew Purchase Line out of the water with a 61-25 final score. The Colts have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won six contests by 33 points or more this season.

Northern Cambria has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matches, which provided a nice bump to their 10-4 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 58.8 points per game. As for United, their loss ended a four-game streak of away wins and brought them to 11-3.

United took their win against Northern Cambria when the teams last played back in December of 2024 by a conclusive 62-41. The rematch might be a little tougher for United since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
