Basketball Preview: Westmont Warriors vs. Christopher Cougars
The Westmont Warriors are taking a road trip to challenge the Christopher Cougars at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Westmont knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past 13 contests -- so hopefully Christopher likes a good challenge.
If Christopher heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Westmont took over last week. Westmont sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 55-53 win over Willow Glen on Friday.
Meanwhile, Christopher had already won eight in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 19.3 points) and they went ahead and made it nine on Wednesday. Everything went their way against the Mustangs as they made off with a 68-47 victory. The Cougars have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won ten games by 21 points or more this season.
Westmont is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 17-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.3 points over those games. As for Christopher, their win was their 17th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 20-2.
Westmont couldn't quite finish off Christopher in their previous matchup back in January and fell 61-59. Can Westmont avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
