This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Gregori have been smashing the glass this season, having only averaged 33.4 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Pitman struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 36.8 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
Gregori beat Pitman 52-41 in their previous meeting back in January of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Gregori since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
