Totino-Grace has gone 9-1 against Anoka recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. The Totino-Grace Eagles are taking a road trip to take on the Anoka Tornadoes at 7:00 p.m. One thing working in Totino-Grace's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points every time they've taken the court this season.

Last Monday, Totino-Grace humbled Elk River with an 86-55 victory. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota basketball rankings (they are ranked 14th, while the Elks are ranked 229th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, Anoka hadn't done well against Andover recently (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Monday. Anoka walked away with an 85-74 win over Andover. While the Tornadoes didn't have the best season last year (they finished 11-17), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

Anoka has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine contests, which provided a nice bump to their 10-2 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 77.7 points per game. As for Totino-Grace, they pushed their record up to 9-4 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home.

Everything came up roses for Totino-Grace against Anoka in their previous meeting back in January of 2024, as the team secured an 87-60 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Totino-Grace since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
