Both teams arrive with impressive recent form. Vanden has strung together a remarkable 9-game winning streak, showcasing their offensive prowess by outscoring opponents by an average of nearly 29 points during that stretch. Capital Christian, however, boasts an even more dominant run, winning 14 consecutive games and averaging a staggering 147.9 points in their last 20 outings.
The Cougars boast a well-balanced attack, led by the explosive Jaylen Valdez, who recently put up a stat-stuffing performance with 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals.

While Capital Christian appears to be the favorite on paper, fueled by their dominant recent stretch, the Vikings shouldn’t be counted out. Their impressive winning streak and defensive tenacity could prove crucial in pulling off an upset.
