Basketball Game Preview: Mullen Mustangs vs. Lutheran Lions

Two dominant guards in Makenzie Jones and Berkley Schneider are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Mullen Mustangs will challenge the Lutheran Lions on Wednesday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.

Mullen is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Saturday. They took their match with ease, bagging a 69-18 win over Glenwood Springs. Given the Mustangs' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 12th, while the Demons are ranked 137th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Lutheran, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Wednesday. They enjoyed a cozy 61-46 victory over Evergreen on Saturday.

Mullen is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 55.0 points over those games. Lutheran's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-11.
