Collins has traveled a rocky road recently having lost seven of their last eight contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-10 record this season. As for Richton, their victory bumped their record up to 15-7.
Richton didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Collins in their previous meeting back in February of 2024, but they still walked away with a 76-71 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Collins' Jaylen Willingham, who posted 33 points and seven steals.
