Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Man walked away with it. They took their contest on Tuesday with ease, bagging a 73-40 win over the Van Bulldogs. The Hillbillies have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight matchups by 21 points or more this season.

Man is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.4 points over those games. Van is on a 31-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-18.

Looking ahead, Man will take on Wahama at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Van does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
