Basketball Game Preview: Chapman Irish vs. Bishop Ward Cyclones

The Chapman Irish will take on the Bishop Ward Cyclones in a tournament on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

After dropping their season opener at home, Bishop Ward is headed out to face a Irish squad ready to give their home crowd a win. Chapman was dealt a 75-46 defeat at the hands of Sacred Heart on Tuesday. The Irish just can't catch a break and have now endured four losses in a row dating back to last season.

Meanwhile, Bishop Ward had to start their season on the road on Tuesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They took a 77-69 hit to the loss column at the hands of Rossville.

Chapman skirted past Bishop Ward 55-53 in their previous matchup back in December of 2023. Will Chapman repeat their success, or does Bishop Ward have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
