It was a tale of two games for the Gators. Wisner-Pilger played really well against Pender, but not so well against Clarkson/Leigh.
The Gators (7-8) host North Bend Central (15-1) Thursday night.
The Tigers defeated Madison 64-51 at home Tuesday night.
North Bend Central has been very consistent this year, and has played good basketball all season long.
Wisner-Pilger has been really up and down, but the potential is there for the Gators.
In my opinion, Wisner-Pilger has a chance to knock off the Tigers.
I'm not saying the Gators are going to get the job done, but a win is definitely possible given how close I believe these two teams are.
The real difference between the two squads, in my opinion, is the ability to win games.
North Bend Central has found a way to get the job done night in and night out while Wisner-Pilger is only getting the job done part of the time.
It's really hard saying what you are going to get from the Gators Thursday night, but given the result of Tuesday night's game, I'm willing to bet Wisner-Pilger will play well.
It will be interesting to see how things go and transpire Thursday night. The game can be heard on 107.9 the Bull with tip-off set right after the girls game, which is scheduled to start at 6:15 p.m.

The Gators (9-7) host North Bend Central (13-2) Thursday night.
The Tigers won 54-32 at home against Madison Tuesday night.
North Bend Central has been a very good, consistent team this season, and has won seven in a row.
The Tigers are tough so Wisner-Pilger is definitely going to need to be on top of their game.
The Gators must have the same kind of effort they had against the Patriots.
Wisner-Pilger is no doubt going to need to play a complete game to come away with the victory.
The Gators have played really well at times this year. Wisner-Pilger has a couple of quality wins, but I feel like a win over North Bend Central would be the Gators' best win of the season so far.
It should be a really good battle Thursday night. Both teams could use a win for momentum purposes heading into the East Husker Conference Tournament.
It will be interesting to see who prevails. I like Wisner-Pilger's chances a lot better since they are at home. If the Gators were on the road I would lean more towards the Tigers winning, but with the game being in Wisner I feel it's a toss up.
Listen to Thursday night's game on 107.9 the Bull. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:15 p.m.
It should be a good game.
