Up Next Anoka

The Rebels (20-4 / 15-1) hit the road for their last road game of the season as they travel to Anoka to take on the Tornadoes (18-6 / 11-5) for a Tuesday March 2nd conference game rematch.

The Tornadoes are on a 2 game (Coon Rapids and Andover) conference winning streak and are led by Lomumba Ismail (15 ppg) and sophomore sensation Marcus Tyus (14 ppg) as they try to hold on to 3rd place in the conference.

The Rebels defeated the Tornadoes 77-43 back on February 3rd. In that game the Tornadoes were ranked #5 and the Rebels were ranked #8 and this was the Tornadoes 2nd biggest game of the year after losing to Osseo in the prior week. The Rebels had four players score in double digits and held the conference’s leading scorer Lomumba Ismail to a season low 4 points.

The Rebels put on an incredible shooting performance last Friday against Elk River as they made 16 of 21 from behind the arch and 12 of 13 free throws as Brandon Davis (28) and Dillon Hager (20) had their career highs in points.

The Rebels who will be looking to win their 14th straight game can clinch the conference title by winning the game. The Rebels who will probably be playing without Kyle Zimmermann again will have to handle Ismail again as he is probably ready to make up for his horrible game earlier when the teams met.

The balanced scoring Rebels are averaging 70 points a game. They have won 18 of their last 20 games and are currently ranked #2 in the Minnesota Basketball News poll and #3 in the Minnesota Preps poll.

Tipoff is 7pm.
