Quincy has won the last two meetings, but the Panthers won in their last appearance at Blue Devil Gym. ... UT enters the game on its second six-game losing streak of the season. The last time the Panthers entered a contest on that same streak, they earned a 60-56 win at Alleman. "I expect us to play well," UT coach Marc Polite said. "We've had a good week of practice." ... In its last two Big 6 games, UT has lost by 10 points. "We've shown flashes," Polite said. "But in order to win in this league, you have to play a complete game. We're getting close to that. We're still moving in the right direction. Hopefully, we can get over this hump." ... Quincy is 2-3 in its last five games. United Township coach Marc Polite: "It's going to be a unique experience — it always is. But our kids will be fine. I don't think it will be different than playing any other game this year." Quincy coach Sean Taylor: "We are looking forward to the second half of the Western Big 6 season. Our players are very excited to compete against United Township."
