Barlow has gone 8-2 against Gresham recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Barlow Bruins will challenge the Gresham Gophers at 6:00 p.m. One thing working in Barlow's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points every time they've taken the court this season.

Barlow is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Oregon's top teams: Central Catholic, who was ranked sixth at the time (Barlow was ranked first). Barlow blew past Central Catholic 75-55 on Friday. The Bruins pushed the score to 64-38 by the end of the third, a deficit the Rams cut but never quite recovered from.

Nelson typically has all the answers at home, but on Friday Gresham proved too difficult a challenge. They came out on top against Nelson by a score of 63-56.

Gresham's win bumped their record up to 6-8. As for Barlow, they pushed their record up to 13-1 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home.

Barlow strolled past Gresham in their previous matchup back in February of 2024 by a score of 73-59. The rematch might be a little tougher for Barlow since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
