Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Glenn has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 24.2 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Bremen struggles in that department as they've been averaging 30.2 boards. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
Glenn might still be hurting after the 57-34 defeat they got from Bremen in their previous meeting two weeks ago. Can Glenn avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
