The Sisseton Redmen will venture away from home to take on the Britton-Hecla Braves at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Sisseton has given up an average of 54.7 points per game this season, so hopefully the team got some defensive drills in this week.
Sisseton is headed into the match out to prove that what happened against Great Plains Lutheran on Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Sisseton had to suffer through a 66-30 loss at the hands of Great Plains Lutheran. Having soared to a lofty 65 points in the game before, the Redmen couldn't push the score so high this time.
Meanwhile, Britton-Hecla was not able to break out of their rough patch last Friday as the team picked up their fifth straight defeat. They took a blow against Groton, falling 63-31. While losing is never fun, the Braves can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' South Dakota basketball rankings (they are ranked 93rd, while the Tigers are ranked 17th).
Sisseton has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-13 record this season. Britton-Hecla's loss dropped their record down to 9-11.
Sisseton beat Britton-Hecla 54-45 when the teams last played back in February. The rematch might be a little tougher for Sisseton since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
