Meanwhile, Blissfield scored the most points they've had all season to find success on Tuesday. They walked away with an 81-72 victory over Dundee. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.

Onsted's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-4. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.4 points per game. As for Blissfield, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 10-7 record this season.

Onsted beat Blissfield 81-71 in their previous matchup last Monday. The rematch might be a little tougher for Onsted since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
