Nationally ranked teams collide on national television as Sierra Canyon and Notre Dame face off Friday night.
The Southern California powers meet for the first time this season, with the Trailblazers (14-1) sitting at No. 7 in the latest AllSportsPeople rankings and the Knights (13-5) just outside the top 25.
Despite their pedigree, both teams struggled to open Mission League play Wednesday night. Sierra Canyon had a narrow escape against St. Francis with a 50-47 home victory, while Notre Dame suffered a surprising 72-68 loss to Loyola.
There will be plenty of talent on the floor Friday. The Trailblazers are led by one of the top seniors in the country, five-star guard Brandon McCoy (still uncommitted) and UNC recruit Maximo Adams, while the Knights are paced by four-star junior guard NaVorro Bowman Jr., son and namesake of the former NFL star.
