Reading hasn't had much luck against Mariemont recently, but that could start to change on Tuesday. The Blue Devils will head out to take on the Warriors at 7:30 p.m.
Reading is headed into the contest out to prove that what happened against Woodward on Saturday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Blue Devils lost 53-30 to the Bulldogs. While losing is never fun, the Blue Devils can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 472nd, while the Bulldogs are ranked 223rd).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mariemont). They were the clear victors by a 57-36 margin over Taylor on Saturday. The Warriors have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won four matchups by 21 points or more this season.
Mariemont has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 29.2 points on average over those games. As for Reading, they now have a losing record of 4-5.
