Basketball Game Preview: Perspectives Leadership/Technology Warriors vs. Marian Catholic Spartans

The Perspectives Leadership/Technology Warriors will face off against the Marian Catholic Spartans at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Perspectives Leadership/Technology knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past five games -- so hopefully Marian Catholic likes a good challenge.

Perspectives Leadership/Technology is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Wednesday. They were the clear victor by a 69-46 margin over Tinley Park. Given the Warriors' advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois basketball rankings (they are ranked 134th in Illinois, while the Titans are ranked 273rd in Illinois), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Marian Catholic, who bounced back after a loss on the road two weeks ago. They had just enough and edged out De La Salle 52-49.

Marian Catholic has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.1 points over those games. Perspectives Leadership/Technology's victory bumped their record up to 18-9.
