Meanwhile, South had to suffer through a rough 59-22 loss at the hands of East. While losing is never fun, South can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Wyoming basketball rankings (they are ranked 45th, while East is ranked second).
Laramie has been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 11-8 record this season. As for South, they dropped their record down to 4-15 with that defeat, which was their fourth straight at home.
Everything went Laramie's way against South when the teams last played back in January as Laramie made off with a 54-32 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Laramie since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
