Oakland-Craig (13-3) entertains North Bend Central (14-0) at home Friday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Tigers won 61-48 at Columbus Scotus Tuesday night.
This is a tremendous challenge in front of the Knights.
I kind of feel like Oakland-Craig has struggled in their past couple of games.
The Knights have to right the ship and snap out of this little mini funk they are in.
I feel like Oakland-Craig can win this one because I feel North Bend Central is due to lose a game at some point.
Perhaps that time will come on Friday night against the Knights who knows.
One thing is for sure though this figures to be a great game between the two teams.
The game two years ago went into overtime with the Tigers prevailing.
I look for Friday night's game to be similar to that one in that regard.
It should be a heck of a game Friday night between the two teams.
I look for both teams to really get after one another and play a hard nosed, physical game.
This is a battle of a bunch of star football players on the basketball court.
There is lots of talent and athleticism on both sides and so it should be a great game Friday night.
I anticipate things will come down to the wire.
I wouldn't doubt if the game was won in the final minutes or seconds, or perhaps at the buzzer.
Oakland-Craig has a tremendous opportunity in front of them and has to seize the moment.
The Knights have to come out and play hard and smart from the get go.
Oakland-Craig has to control their emotions and harness their energy and let the game come to them.
The game is scheduled to start after the girls game, which is scheduled to tip-off at 6:00 p.m. on the Bull.
The Oakland-Craig Girls won 55-52 at BRLD on Saturday in action aired on 107.9 the Bull before earning a 63-29 home win over Tekamah-Herman Tuesday night.
Chaney Nelson hit a buzzer beating three-pointer to lift the Knights past the Wolverines as Oakland-Craig outscored BRLD 25-10 in the 4th quarter.
That coming after the game was tied at 10 at the end of one, and the Wolverines went up 25-21 at halftime, and outscored the Knights 17-9 in the 3rd quarter to take a 42-30 lead into the final frame.
Kennedy Benne led all scorers with 32 points and went over 1,000 points for her career.
Oakland-Craig quadrupled up the Tigers 20-5 in the 1st quarter, and won the 2nd quarter 18-13 to build a 38-18 halftime advantage.
The Knights outscored Tekamah-Herman 14-2 in the 3rd quarter to extend their lead to 52-20 at the end of three.
Oakland-Craig won the 4th quarter 11-9.
Chaney Nelson and Sadie Nelson each had 16 points while Benne registered 15.
Amazing play from the Knights on both days.
Oakland-Craig (15-0) hosts North Bend Central (15-0) Friday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Tigers won 40-27 at Columbus Scotus Tuesday night.
North Bend Central has had a couple of close games lately so perhaps the Knights will get this one.
Oakland-Craig has a flare for the dramatic, and really played an exceptional game on Saturday.
That comeback was something else, and it's something the Knights must carry with them into this game.
This game figures to be a great one, and it should be a great night of High School Basketball on 107.9 the Bull Friday night.
Both games should be great and come down to the wire.
This game is huge in possibly deciding who will be the top seed in the East Husker Conference Tournament.
The winner would have the inside track to getting the No. 1 seed you would think.
Oakland-Craig has a big game against Norris on Saturday and another one at Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family Tuesday night, but I'm telling ya the Knights are only concerned about the Tigers right now.
Lots of big and season defining games remain for Oakland-Craig.
The Knights had a season defining moment on Saturday so let's see if they have another one Friday night.
It would be a huge deal for Oakland-Craig to move to 16-0 on the season and perhaps snag that top seed in the Conference Tournament.
It should be a very exciting night of basketball on the Bull Friday night, and I know I'm really looking forward to the game.
I think the game could very well come down until the very end like Saturday's game and have a similar ending as Saturday.
Tip-off from Oakland is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on the Bull.
