Head Coach Aaron Meyer. "Yeah it's nice to turn some defense into offense there for a little bit. And hitting some outside shots is always a big deal cause then you can spread the court out a little bit. You can isolate a little bit more inside. But all in all it was a lot of fun team basketball."
The Knights (1-2) host Pender (1-2) Friday night in action that will be aired on 107.9 the Bull.
The Pendragons lost 36-31 at home to Lutheran High Northeast Thursday night.
It's Friday the 13th and weird things can happen on that day, but Oakland-Craig hopes the game isn't something out of the ordinary for them.
The Knights would just assume win big and not having any issues with Pender whatsoever.
You know you're going to get a great effort from Pender though.
The Pendragons are trying to turn around their program and start winning.
Oakland-Craig's offense is incredible though.
The Knights have really put the ball in the bucket the last two games.
I think it just took a game for Oakland-Craig to find themselves offensively following a long football season.
It seems like the Knights have fed off their success in football and kept things rolling during basketball season.
Single digit losses to Logan View/Scribner-Snyder and Boys Town are not bad losses.
Oakland-Craig isn't one to revel in moral victories, but I think the Knights had to feel encouraged by the Boys Town game at the very least.
Oakland-Craig has to come out and play well Friday night, and then get ready for a tough three-game stretch.
The Knights need to pick up a big win over the Pendragons, and give Howells-Dodge, Winnebago, and Wisner-Pilger their best shot this weekend and next week.
This is the type of game where Oakland-Craig needs to win by a lot to give themselves added confidence and momentum heading into the their next three games.
I feel the Knights are a team hungry for success, and will do whatever it takes to get over that hump and be a great team.
A win over Pender Friday night would certainly be another step in the right direction.
Tip-off is set for 7:45 p.m. on the Bull.
The Oakland-Craig Girls Basketball Team has picked up right where they left off last year, winning 64-24 at home over Logan View/Scribner-Snyder in last Thursday night's season opener before downing Boys Town 64-14 at home on Saturday, and winning 55-31 at Clarkson/Leigh Tuesday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull.

Oakland-Craig (3-0) plays host to Pender (3-0) Friday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Pendragons won 51-44 at home over Lutheran High Northeast Thursday night.
Pender is a good, solid team.
I feel like the Knights are great and elite though.
This figures to be a heck of a ball game, but it's going to be awfully difficult to beat Oakland-Craig on their home floor.
The Knights have to defend their home floor like they did the first week of the season.
Oakland-Craig has to play hard and smart from the start, and go out there and light things up offensively.
The Knights have so many offensive weapons, and their defense is really good too.
I feel like Oakland-Craig is the complete team and real deal, and one of the best teams in the area and conference.
I think this Oakland-Craig team has a chance to go far this year and do some special things.
The Knights have to keep things all in perspective though and keep focused on the prize.
Oakland-Craig has a lot of basketball left to play this year and can't get too ahead of themselves.
The Knights have to focus on beating a good Pender team, and improving to 4-0 on the season.
Oakland-Craig has to like where they are at right now, and if they can get past the Pendragons and Winnebago they should have a good chance to be undefeated heading into the Christmas Holiday Break.
I fully expect Pender to throw everything in their arsenal at the Knights and try and do everything in their power to win though.
Oakland-Craig has to be ready for anything the Pendragons try and throw at them, and adjust and adapt as the game goes on.
It should be a fun one, and I hope you're all excited to listen to it as much as I am.
Tip-off is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on the Bull.
