The Snow Canyon Warriors will look to defend their home court against the Hurricane Tigers at 7:00 p.m. The timing isn't great for Snow Canyon: they have been struggling with three straight losses at home, while Hurricane has snatched up four consecutive wins on the road.
Snow Canyon is headed into the contest having just suffered their biggest loss since December 6, 2024 on Wednesday. They came up short against Dixie, falling 58-35. While losing is never fun, the Warriors can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Utah basketball rankings (they are ranked 85th, while the Flyers are ranked 27th).

Meanwhile, Hurricane hadn't done well against Crimson Cliffs recently (they were 0-9 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Wednesday. Hurricane managed a 59-55 win over Crimson Cliffs.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Snow Canyon has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 24.1 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Hurricane struggles in that department as they've been averaging 29.2 boards. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
Snow Canyon couldn't quite finish off Hurricane in their previous meeting back in January and fell 60-58.
