St. Joseph is headed into Friday's game looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their third straight game on Monday. They fell 58-49 to New Canaan.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Jayden Febus, who posted 12 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jules Jacques, who put up six points and six rebounds.
Meanwhile, Staples beat Danbury 42-34 on Monday. Given the Wreckers' advantage in MaxPreps' Connecticut basketball rankings (they are ranked 15th, while the Hatters are ranked 118th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
St. Joseph better focus on containing Mason Tobias and Matt Corrigan as the pair were huge in Staples' win. Tobias went 6 for 11 to rack up 19 points and seven boards, while Corrigan scored ten points along with six rebounds and three steals. The dominant performance gave Corrigan a new career-high in steals. Henry Vesiid also deserves some recognition as he pulled down his first boards of the season.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: St. Joseph has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 25.1 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Staples struggles in that department as they've been averaging 29.1 boards. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
St. Joseph couldn't quite finish off Staples when the teams last played back in February of 2024 and fell 71-69. Can St. Joseph avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
