The Delta Panthers just played yesterday, but they'll still head out to face the Basalt Longhorns at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. Delta knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past four matchups -- so hopefully Basalt likes a good challenge.
Delta will bounce into Saturday's contest after beating Steamboat Springs, who they had gone 2-7 against in their nine prior meetings. Delta managed a 60-55 victory over Steamboat Springs on Friday.
Meanwhile, Basalt lost to Aspen at home by a 62-48 margin on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Longhorns can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 156th, while the Skiers are ranked 38th).
Delta is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-11 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 63.0 points over those games. Basalt dropped their record down to 9-11 with the defeat, which was their third straight at home.
Delta came up short against Basalt in their previous meeting back in January, falling 65-54. Can Delta avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
