The Faribault Falcons are taking a road trip to challenge the John Marshall Rockets at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. One thing working in Faribault's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last seven matchups.
Faribault will bounce into Tuesday's game after beating Century, who they had gone 0-9 against in their nine prior meetings. Faribault came out on top in a nail-biter against Century on Friday, sneaking past 69-66. Given the Falcons' advantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota basketball rankings (they are ranked 44th, while the Panthers are ranked 181st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, John Marshall waltzed into their contest on Friday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They came within six points of losing the streak, but they secured a 62-56 W against the Huskies.
John Marshall pushed their record up to 20-3 with the win, which was their seventh straight on the road. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 74.6 points over those games. As for Faribault, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 18-6 record this season.
Faribault might still be hurting after the 66-40 loss they got from John Marshall when the teams last played back in January. Can Faribault avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
