The Central men’s basketball team will travel to local non-conference foe Grinnell this evening in the final game before Christmas break. The Dutch are 4-4 on the season, with all four wins coming in the last five games. The Pioneers enter 5-3 overall after starting the season 0-3.

The Dutch will try to contain and keep up with Grinnell’s signature style of play. The Pioneers average just shy of 118 points per game, and have 4 players averaging in double figures. Central counters with an average output of 95 points per game and five players averaging double figures. These figures, combined with both teams playing their best basketball of the season are likely to provide a thrilling spectacle.

Tonight’s game will air live on the KRLS3 stream, with Jon Mohwinkle calling the action. Pregame coverage starts at 6:45, with tipoff from Darby Gymnasium in Grinnell set for 7:00.
