The University Cougars will head out on the road to square off against the Colonial Grenadiers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. University knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past four contests -- so hopefully Colonial likes a good challenge.
University scored the most points they've had all season to find success on Wednesday. They enjoyed a cozy 82-63 win over Freedom. Given University's advantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 65th, while Freedom is ranked 548th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
University's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Ethan Adams, who scored 16 points along with eight assists and five steals. Adams hasn't dropped below two steals for 11 straight games. Another player making a difference was Mo Kamara, who dropped a double-double on 17 points and ten rebounds.
Colonial posted their closest victory since December 7, 2023 on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 52-49 victory over Timber Creek.
University pushed their record up to 16-4 with that victory, which was their seventh straight at home. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.7 points per game. Colonial's record is now 12-9.
University couldn't quite finish off Colonial in their previous matchup back in December of 2023 and fell 80-77. Can University avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
