North St. Paul at Tartan
8 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 16

The Metro East Conference will also be decided in the final week of the regular season. North St. Paul (20-4, 14-0) is in the driver's seat, but the Polars face a challenging road ahead.

They can capture the title with a win over second-place Tartan (20-4, 14-1) on Tuesday, but a loss will set up an important game against third-place Mahtomedi in the regular-season finale.

Defeating the Titans may prove to be difficult for North St. Paul, which escaped with a 66-64 home victory against Tartan on Jan. 15. 

Each team had three players score in double figures in the first meeting, led by Polars sophomore guard Goodnews Kpegeol and Titans junior guard Jordan Horn, who each finished with 15 points.
