This contest is shaping up to be a blowout: Winamac just can't miss this season, having drained 49.6% of their field goals per game. It's a different story for Argos, though, as they've only made 24.1% of their shots this season. Given Winamac's sizable advantage in that area, the Dragons will need to find a way to close that gap.
Everything came up roses for Winamac against Argos in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, as the squad secured a 61-34 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
