Eau Claire North (2-0) at River Falls (1-0)
The two preseason favorites in the Big Rivers Conference battle on Tuesday. Behind Dalton Banks (30.5 ppg), North has looked very strong early on this season. River Falls will counter with sophomore Zac Johnson, who poured in 32 points in the season opener.
La Crosse Central (1-0) at Eau Claire Memorial (2-0)
Junior Cade Boser has Eau Claire Memorial off to a strong start. The Division 1 prospect is averaging 21.0 points and 13.0 rebounds per game through two outings.
