Bounce back battle
By Rob NaplesRim Rockers vs Bandits
The Bandits are searching for answers after dropping two straight games and sliding several spots in the power rankings. Despite the recent skid, one bright spot has emerged in Brody Smith. With an increased role, Smith has made the most of his opportunity, averaging 14 points over the last two games and providing a much-needed offensive spark.
The Rim Rockers enter at 1-3, hoping to stop their own downward trend before it gains momentum. Consistency has been hard to find and production has varied from game to game. They’ll also be looking for captain Ryan Stadel to deliver the kind of superstar performance he’s capable of—something that could be the difference in a matchup that feels critical for both teams
