The Abilene Eagles will venture away from home to challenge the Legacy Leopards at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Friday, Abilene was able to grind out a solid win over Cooper, taking the game 60-53. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 214th, while the Cougars are ranked 698th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Legacy came tearing into Friday's matchup with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 15 points) and they left with even more momentum. They slipped by the Bulldogs 49-48.
Abilene pushed their record up to 18-10 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 68.3 points per game. As for Legacy, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine contests, which provided a massive bump to their 15-8 record this season.
Abilene didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Legacy in their previous meeting on January 10th, but they still walked away with a 57-53 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Abilene since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
