Classical better keep an eye on Kenna Wesner. She was instrumental in Marion's win, on her way to 14 points in addition to six rebounds and four steals.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Classical has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 25.6 boards per game. However, it's not like Marion struggles in that department as they've been averaging 22.6 rebounds. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
Classical and Marion were neck-and-neck in their previous meeting two weeks ago, but Classical came up empty-handed after a 55-54 defeat. Can Classical avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
