The Argonaut Mustangs will head out to take on the Liberty Ranch Hawks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Argonaut's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points every time they've taken the court this season.
Argonaut is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Union Mine just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Wednesday. They took an 85-79 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Diamondbacks. Despite running the score up even higher than they did in their prior game on Tuesday (77), the Mustangs still had to take the loss.
Meanwhile, Liberty Ranch came tearing into Wednesday's match with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.5 points) and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Buffaloes with a sharp 68-42 win. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Hawks had established a 24 point advantage.
Liberty Ranch is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests, which provided a nice bump to their 13-10 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 63.7 points per game. As for Argonaut, their loss ended a nine-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 18-5.
Argonaut didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Liberty Ranch in their previous meeting on January 14th, but they still walked away with a 68-63 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Argonaut since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
