OHC rivalry heats up tonight
The rivalry hasn’t been going on for very long, but its still a fierce one.
The schools have only played against each other in OHC play since 2001. It was a big rivalry before that time, but has grown bigger each year. It’s likely the biggest rivalry game for each team.
It’s a big game for both teams. For the D-IV ninth-ranked Trojans, a victory would give them a two-game lead atop the league through one round. That means if anyone wants to catch them, they’ll have to beat the Trojans and get some help.
For Northeastern, it would put them a half-game behind the Trojans in the standings with eight OHC games to go. They’d control their own destiny from that point.
A key for the Jets will be stopping the Trojans high-powered offense. Other than a one-point win at Greeneview, no team has gotten to within 13 points of Southeastern.
Defensively, Southeastern will have to contain big man Aaron Hartzell and not let the NE guards into the game. They’ll also have to look to the transition game off of rebounds — something they’ve been very good at through the first eight games.
