The Osage Indians will take on the St. Elizabeth Hornets in a tournament on Saturday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Osage unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They fell 84-80 to Jefferson City last Tuesday.
Meanwhile, St. Elizabeth played a tough game on Thursday in which they were outscored in every quarter. They were beaten by Eugene 84-50. The Hornets have struggled against the Eagles recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive lost matchup.
Osage will need to focus on slowing down Kyson Green, one of several St. Elizabeth players who made an impact when they last played. He shot 56% from the field on his way to 14 points. Thanks to that strong game, Green now owns an excellent 40.5% three-point shooting accuracy. Another player making a difference was Ben Engelmeyer, who posted 11 points.
Osage strolled past St. Elizabeth in their previous matchup back in December of 2024 by a score of 72-58. Do the Indians have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Hornets turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
