Mounds View at Cretin-Derham Hall
7:15 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 5

Cretin-Derham Hall may have finished atop the Suburban East standings with a 15-1 record last year, but the only team it couldn't topple twice in league play was Mounds View. 

The Mustangs recorded a 76-70 road victory over the Raiders last season and bring back a key piece from that squad in senior forward Nate Albers.

After being the team's second scoring option last season, Albers has shouldered the load early this season and is among the state's leading scorers at 24.4 points per game. He scored a combined 34 points in two games against the Raiders last season.

Cretin-Derham Hall has been led by sophomore forward Daniel Oturu (15.7 ppg) and senior guard Jordan Ammons (12.5 ppg) through 10 games.
