Polson will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Hamilton at 4:00 p.m. on January 4, 2025. Polson is facing Hamilton at the right time seeing as Hamilton is stuck on a five-game losing streak. Sidney also won't see the court for a while: their next contest is against Hardin at 2:30 p.m. on January 3, 2025. Hardin knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past five matches -- so hopefully Sidney likes a good challenge.
