Basketball Game Preview: Lutheran Mustangs vs. Knippa Crushers

The Lutheran Mustangs will hit the road for the first time this season to challenge the Knippa Crushers at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Lutheran picked up another tournament win last Saturday. In a tight contest that could have gone either way, they made off with a 36-35 victory over Pearsall.

Meanwhile, Knippa won against Sabinal last Friday with 38 points and they decided to stick to that point total again on Monday. The Crushers enjoyed a cozy 38-22 win over La Pryor. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Crushers.

The victory got Lutheran back to even at 1-1. Knippa has also opened the season with a perfect 2-0 record.

Everything came up roses for Lutheran against Knippa in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, as the squad secured a 68-5 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mustangs since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
