The Indians (9-8) take on Walthill (13-2) in the Lewis and Clark Conference Tournament Semifinals at Walthill Thursday night.
The Blujays beat Wynot 68-58 in the first round of the tournament at Creighton Monday night.
Winnebago beat Walthill 64-61 at home back on December 4th.
The rematch figures to be even tougher than the first game was, but the Indians can definitely come out on top if they play like they did on Monday.
Beating the Blujays on their home floor is no small task either, but I feel like Winnebago will be up to the challenge.
It will be interesting to see what happens in this game as it is always a battle when these two get together.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Walthill.

Winnebago (9-10) takes on Wakefield (13-7) for 3rd place at Cedar Catholic Friday evening.
The Trojans lost 49-24 in the Semis to Wynot Tuesday night.
These two teams will play each other twice in a row.
It should be a good, close game that can truly go either way.
I feel like either team is capable of winning on Friday.
I feel it's important for both teams to bounce back and play well following losses on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, only one team can win, but hopefully it is Winnebago.
Two wins over the Trojans and a win over Omaha Nation next Thursday to conclude the regular season would be good for momentum purposes no doubt.
Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. in Hartington.
