Preview: Rochester Rockets vs. Tolono Unity Rockets
Rochester has played every game this season on their home court, but they'll have to hit the road on Friday. They will face off against the Tolono Unity Rockets at 7:00 p.m. Hopefully Rochester focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 14 on Tuesday.
Last Tuesday, Rochester was beaten by Collinsville 67-32. Rochester was in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 39-9.
Despite the defeat, Rochester had strong showings from Canon Bruce, who scored 8 points, and Jack Melton, who scored 7 points.
Meanwhile, Tolono Unity took care of business in their home opener on Tuesday. They walked away with a 69-61 victory over Bismarck-Henning/Rossville-Alvin. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.

Rochester beat Tolono Unity 56-46 when the teams last played back in December of 2022. The rematch might be a little tougher for Rochester since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
