Tonight’s matchup: Wayzata vs. Maple Grove

Two boys basketball teams that expected to get off to better starts clash Tuesday night when Wayzata (1-2) travels to Maple Grove (0-1), and you can watch live on on the MN Basketball Hub. Here’s a preview:

What’s at stake: Neither of these proud programs want to fall two games below .500. It’s still early, so both teams have plenty of time to recover. Wayzata is No. 2 in the Star Tribune’s statewide Minnesota Top 25 rankings released Dec. 5, as well as No. 2 in the Class 4A coaches rankings from Dec. 4.

Maple Grove is No. 19 in the Minnesota Top 25 and No. 10 in the Class 4A rankings.

How they’ve fared: Wayzata is coming off back-to-back tough losses to Class 3A schools, 107-103 to Orono in overtime and 71-68 to perennial power Totino-Grace. Maple Grove also suffered a heart-breaking setback, 72-70 to Edina, in its season opener.

Players to watch: Two of the state’s most highly regarded players, Wayzata 6-5 junior guard Christian Wiggins and Maple Grove 6-4 sophomore forward Baboucarr Ann, will attract curious onlookers.

Wiggins, who is averaging 17.3 points per game, is the top-rated player in the state in the Class of 2026, according to Prep Hoops Report.

Ann, who was recently offered by the Gophers, is No. 4 in the Class of 2027 and coming off a 16-point performance.
