Tonight’s big games

BOYS RIVERVIEW AT BALD KNOB

WHEN 7:30 p.m.

WHERE Bulldog Arena, Bald Knob RECORDS Riverview 14-1, 7-0 3A-6; Bald Knob 16-3, 6-2 3A-6

WHY THE INTRIGUE Weather permitting, Bald Knob will have a chance to inch closer to first-place Riverview if it can pick up a victory at home. A defeat, however, will leave the Bulldogs three games back in the loss column with just five conference games left to play in the regular season.

NOTEWORTHY The last time Riverview lost a game was on Nov. 17 when it was beaten 81-75 at Bergman. Since then, the Raiders have won 13 consecutive. … Bald Knob suffered an 81-75 loss at Riverview in the teams’ first meeting on Dec. 12. … Tadrian Baker, Tucker Cunningham and Tristian Cunningham all have scored more than 1,000 points in their careers for the Raiders. … Five of the Bulldogs’ final eight games are on the road, including their last four league matchups.
