Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 77-40, which was the final score in Brady's tilt against Sandhills Valley on Tuesday.

Wallace will have to keep a close watch on Cinch Sanger and Brody Telitz, a pair of players who had a big impact on Brady's prior game. Sanger went 9 for 18 on his way to 19 points and three steals, while Telitz posted 11 points and six boards. Sanger is crushing it when it comes to steals: he's grabbed at least two every time he's taken the court this season.

There's only one way to find out.
