The Aurora Huskies will head out on the road to challenge the Crete Cardinals at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Saturday, Aurora didn't have too much trouble with Lexington as they won 51-33. Given the Huskies' advantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska basketball rankings (they are ranked 119th, while the Minutemen are ranked 240th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Crete). They were the clear victor by a 67-44 margin over North Platte on Saturday. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Cardinals considering their 25-point performance the game before.
Crete is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 9-11 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 50.8 points over those games. As for Aurora, their record now sits at 9-11.
Aurora ended up a good deal behind Crete in their previous matchup back in February of 2024, losing 48-30. Can Aurora avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
