The University Bulldogs are taking a road trip to square off against the Holy Family Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Holy Family took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on University, who comes in off a win.
University can't be too worried about heading out to take on Holy Family: they just beat Yuma at home, who had been dominant on their own court up to that point. University escaped with a win on Friday against Yuma by the margin of a single free throw, 73-72. The win was all the more spectacular given the Bulldogs' disadvantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 88th, while the Outlaws are ranked 20th).

University has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.6 points over those games. Holy Family's loss dropped their record down to 12-9.
University came up short against Holy Family in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, falling 54-42.
