<p>Tuesday Night Match-Up breaks down the feature game of the evening plus runs you through some other key individual/team match-ups on Tuesday evening! </p>
<p><strong>Game of the Night: Mound-Westonka vs Benilde-St. Margaret’s </strong></p>
<p>The 10th ranked Whitehawks and the 6th ranked Red Knights go head to head in a Class AAA battle of top 6AAA contenders. Coach Andre Phillips, a former manager under Tubby Smith, and Coach Damien Johnson, a former player under Tubby Smith, go head to head in a battle of "Who Wears the Best Red" (Both teams are red and white color wise). </p>
<p>Here are the projected line-ups:</p>
<p>PG: [player_tooltip player_id="850737" first="Maddox" last="Alipate"] (BSM) vs [player_tooltip player_id="1144113" first="Jake" last="Dallman"] (MW). Maddox is the returning BSM starter and a player coming off a great summer, and he could see a lot of Dallman, an intelligent passer and tough competitor. </p>
<p>W1: Daniel Ijadimbola (BSM) vs Luke Leonard (MW). Ijadimbola is a Bemidji State committed playmaker that can play both guard spot, Leonard is a guess based on the returning players from the JV. </p>
<p>W2: [player_tooltip player_id="796949" first="Ryan" last="Warren"] (BSM) vs [player_tooltip player_id="1144111" first="Jack" last="Eberhart"] (MW). Warren is a scorer that transferred over from Eden Prairie, Eberhart is an all around skilled guard that the Whitehawks can trust on the ball or on the wing. </p>
<p>W3: [player_tooltip player_id="1268462" first="Sam" last="Best"] (BSM) vs [player_tooltip player_id="796950" first="Jason" last="Spaeth"] (MW). Best is an excellent shooter and constant worker, he will be one of a few guys that tries to slow Spaeth, a physical skilled scoring wing. </p>
<p>F: Jalen Wilson (BSM) vs [player_tooltip player_id="962225" first="Reese" last="Vanderwilt"] (MW). Wilson is coming off a great 8th grade year at Breck, he’s a face-up four where as Reese is a strong screening low post player that has skill. </p>
<p>6th: [player_tooltip player_id="962277" first="Luke" last="Collins"] (BSM) vs Max Swanson (MW)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Other Tuesday Options</strong></p>
<p>Mankato East at Austin. Massive Big Nine clash to open the year. This game will have a big impact on the final standings</p>
<p>RTR at Southwest Minnesota Christian. This is a Titanic Class A southern Minnesota clash. Both teams are well coached, RTR is the up and coming hungry squad. </p>
<p>Richfield at Tartan. Former league rivals get back together for what should be a really fun game between two very solid programs. </p>
<p>Maranatha Christian at Mayer Lutheran. Two Top Ten teams, two squads with a number of returning players. Great game. </p>
<p>St. Cloud Tech at Princeton. The new Tech program versus the established Princeton squad, a battle of Tigers.</p>
<p>Wayzata at Prior Lake. Love the [player_tooltip player_id="850713" first="Carter" last="Bjerke"] vs [player_tooltip player_id="850712" first="Malcolm" last="Jones"] post match-up. </p>
<p>Park Center at Edina. The number one ranked Pirates face a Hornets team that has top ten potential.</p>
<p>Hopkins at Maple Grove. The Royals have a great combo of youth talent and solid veterans, the Crimson are coming off a double figure loss to Rosemount. </p>
<p>Lakeville North at East Ridge. With [player_tooltip player_id="962214" first="Nolan" last="Winter"] in a boot we are going to see what North has depth wise as they face [player_tooltip player_id="850708" first="Kendall" last="Blue"] and company. </p>
