The Lakota Tech Tatanka just played last yesterday, but they'll still welcome the Alliance Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Lakota Tech has four straight wins, Alliance has 11 straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
While Lakota Tech didn't have the best season last year (they finished 8-12), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They were the clear victor by a 56-33 margin over Chadron on Thursday. The Tatanka have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won four matchups by 23 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, Alliance opened the new year with a less-than-successful 49-40 loss to Pine Bluffs. While losing is never fun, the Bulldogs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 261st in Nebraska, while the Hornets are ranked 25th in Wyoming).
Alliance's defeat dropped their record down to 0-10. As for Lakota Tech, their victory bumped their record up to 6-2.
