NBC beat O-C 56-33 at home last Monday night.
I fully expect Tuesday’s game to be a lot closer than that one was.
I look for the Knights to come out motivated and energized, and feel they will play a good game.
Both teams must be motivated, which doesn’t figure to be easy.
I could see both teams not being motivated, but I think ultimately both of these teams will get up for this game.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Tiger Arena.
